In Windows, there is no default colouring support at the console, so it would make sense if it was off by default. I use a tool called ANSICon which provides the colouring support (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code#Support and source+bins at http://adoxa.110mb.com/ansicon/). So, for me turning it on would work for me.
