colorgo is a wrapper to go command that colorizes output from go build and go test.

go get -u github.com/songgao/colorgo

colorgo build

colorgo changes nothing to sub-commands other than go build. So you can optionally define alias in your shell conf so that go build always prints colorized error message:

bash: ~/.bashrc

alias go=colorgo

fish-shell: ~/.config/fish/config.fish

alias go colorgo
