| .. versionadded:: 3.5 |

| .. include:: include/ENV_VAR.rst |
| |
| Set to a non-empty value, other than ``0``, to tell command-line |
| tools to print color messages even if not connected to a terminal. |
| This is a `common convention`_ among command-line tools in general. |
| |
| See also the :envvar:`NO_COLOR` and :envvar:`CLICOLOR` environment variables. |
| If :envvar:`NO_COLOR` is activated, it takes precedence over |
| :envvar:`!CLICOLOR_FORCE`. Otherwise, if :envvar:`!CLICOLOR_FORCE` is |
| activated, it takes precedence over :envvar:`CLICOLOR`. |
| |
| See the :variable:`CMAKE_COLOR_DIAGNOSTICS` variable to control |
| color in a generated build system. |
