Colours in Windows cmd with Python

Question

I am trying to get colours to work in Python using windows cmd but it is not working. I've tried a few packages, but they all result in something similar.

At the moment, my code looks like this:

from colors import *

print(color('some text', fg='rgb(255, 0, 0)'))

However, this just prints [38;2;255;0;0msome text[0m into the console in white.

What am I doing wrong here?

EDIT: I am using this package .

EDIT2: I need to print many different exact RGB values.

EDIT3: The below code works for colorama, but afaik colorama doesn't allow you to specify exact RGB values.

from colorama import init, Fore, Back, Style

init(convert=True)

print(Fore.RED + 'some red text')

Re-enable ANSI console color for Windows 10.16257 and later : run

reg add HKCU\Console /v VirtualTerminalLevel /t REG_DWORD /d 1

Restart Windows command prompt ( cmd.exe ).
