I just to get nice colored output from the terminal in MSYS2. Then suddenly it went away.
Last time this hapened I re-installed msys2. Is there an easier way to fix this?

Hi @Squinky hopefully appending these two lines to the MSYS2 home/<user>/.bashrc
file should do the trick:
eval "$(dircolors -b /etc/DIR_COLORS)"
alias ls="/bin/ls --color=auto"
For more custom theming, I found that one can right-click on the MSYS2/mingw-64 terminal title bar, select Options… , and in the Looks section, set a choice in the Theme dropdown. The Color Scheme Designer button links to a web widget where you can customize a Color Scheme, and export it as a configuration snippet to be appended to your MSYS2 home/<user>/.minttyrc
file.
Well, I have colors, but the important thing, colors coming out of gcc, nope.
src/SampModule.cpp:464:11: warning: unused variable 'labelY' [-Wunused-variable]
464 | float labelY = jacksY - 25;
| ^~~~~~
that all came out as white text on black background.
OK, I asked teh intrawebz. This did it;
in my Makefile: FLAGS += -fdiagnostics-color=always
in bash.rc: export GCC_COLORS=
