Currently, whether or not rez outputs color is purely determined by whether or not the current stdout is a tty; unfortunately, that means that when doing things like using the output of rez in pipes, etc, color is always disabled.
This fix provides a means to force color output on, so that things like this will work:
echo $(REZ_COLOR_ENABLED=force python -c "from rez.utils.colorize import Printer, local; Printer()('foo', local)")
