failed to display color when piped to custom pager

Hi, I need to invoke pager in my app to display long text. Here is the sample code:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"os"
"os/exec"
"strings"
"github.com/fatih/color"
)
func main() {
var Yellow = color.New(color.FgYellow).SprintfFunc()
fmt.Println(Yellow("from fmt.Println"))
var pager = exec.Command("less", "-F")
pager.Stdin = strings.NewReader(Yellow("from pager"))
pager.Stdout = os.Stdout
err := pager.Run()
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
}
}
It worked on Archlinux:
but failed on Debian (bookworm, on rasberrypi) and latest MacOS:
I don't think this was caused by your package but I wonder if you have any idea how to fix it. Thanks very much.
