How do I get colour with Windows command prompt using RSpec in Ruby?

Question

In other o/s RSpec returns nicely coloured results (red, green etc).

However in the windows (Vista) command prompt my text output is just plain old boring white.

UPDATE: Win32Console no longer works with rspec. ANSICON recommended. https://github.com/rspec/rspec-rails/issues/487#issuecomment-3556806
