I think this falls well outside of the Realterm mandate: development, debugging and reverse engineering.
The ANSI emulation provides a VT100 interpreter. This is part of the turbopower terminal component I use (emulator component).
If a color VTXXX component existed, it would be easy to add, but I won't be trying to add this function to the emulator code.
You might want to request a VTXXX color emulator type be added to AsyncPro.
Currently development of this is at https://github.com/TurboPack/AsyncPro

As a matter of interest, why do you want Realterm to do this, rather than using one of the terminal programs which has full modern VT emulation?

  The main interest in using RealTerm for this is that all other terminals fall short. We are developing network equipment and typically will be connected to at least 5 devices at the same time - some are via debug uart, some are via the admin uart, and there may also be situations were I'm also using a saleae to tap the connection between the microcontroller and the transceiver. I want to minimize the number of software tools used, and realTerm seems to be the best of everything. The main pet peeve I have with most other terminal packages is that they have limited scripting/batch argument capability, cannot discover what serialports are actually available on the PC for use, or just assume that I want to dial through a modem.

Development has moved to Github.
I think you need to post a feature request here: https://github.com/TurboPack/AsyncPro/issues

Ha Ha - it was there all along, but being overwritten by Realterms colorising.
Now works, BUT color is no longer different by character source i.e. port/kbd/spy/send

e.g to change to bright magenta \027[1;35m

Please test when 3.0.0.32 released in a few days
