Some RTFM from asterisk(8):

       -c     Provide  a  control console on the calling terminal.  Specifying
              this option implies -f and will cause asterisk to no longer fork
              or detach from the controlling terminal.

The fact that you only get colors there i a byproduct. -c simply tells asterisk not to act as a daemon.
