Custom ANSI colors in output window

I'd like to customize the 8/16 standard ANSI colors in the output 
window. As mentioned in a different thread, Maven builds produce 
colored output when -Djansi.passthrough=true is specified in MAVEN_OPTS. 
One can also produce colored output in a program by writing ANSI color 
escape sequences to System.out. However, on a white background, some 
of the colors are hard to read (e.g. green, cyan, yellow).

How can those colors be customized? What component is responsible for 
translating the ANSI sequences to actual colors in the output window?

While Options > Miscellaneous > Output allows to configure error 
colors etc., it doesn't allow the standard ANSI colors 
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code#3/4_bit) to be 
configured.
