RSpec Git Bash Windows -- missing color?

Question

I am using Git Bash on Windows for most of my Rails work and every time I run bundle exec rspec spec it alerts me "You must gem install win32console to use color on Windows," and then runs RSpec in plain black and white. Yet I did install win32console, and when I run gem list on the list it has win32console (1.3.0 x86-mingw32). RSpec works fine, but I would love it to have some color. I google searched this and found multiple solutions but none seem to work for me. Can someone please write out a "step-by-step" approach to getting color with RSpec on Git Bash for Windows?
