Question: Colored output on Windows powershell with CTest

I'm using CMake and CTest to build and run my tests.
On Linux I can produce color googletest output with CTest, like this:
GTEST_COLOR=1 ctest -V
On Windows I tried something similar in powershell:
$Env:GTEST_COLOR=1; ctest -V
However the output is still not colored. How can I achieve the desired colored output?
I'm using Googletest 1.10.0 and CMake 3.17.3
