Usually, there is an extra option to retain the escape sequences when piped into another command.
See: kubecolor/kubecolor - Dynamic tty support
KUBECOLOR_FORCE_COLORS=true kubecolor ... | fzf ...
# or
kubecolor --force-colors ... | fzf ...
# Enables colors automatically when outputting to the terminal; otherwise, it disables them.
command grep --color=auto '^foo' /usr/share/dict/words
command grep --color=auto '^foo' /usr/share/dict/words | fzf
# vs
# Always enables colorized output.
command grep --color=always '^foo' /usr/share/dict/words | fzf
