Are you using an insider build or a different shell than Windows' cmd? I find myself using Putty to connect to a Linux subsystem ssh server just to get a decent terminal emulator with full colour support!

The latest Insider builds are a lot better, including full color support.

I did try conemu when bash for windows was first released, but ran into some problems. Will definitely try again, thanks! Though the wsltty linked below looks promising as well
