Check the contents of your TERM variable.  It should indicate a terminal
type for which color is available.  If it is not (e.g. xterm, instead of
xterm-color), then Asterisk does not generate the color codes.

Note that this takes effect when you start Asterisk, not when you
connect to it from a remote console.
