It relies on the use of a NuGet package that contains a class Console that has a matching API signature as System.Console. Use it in the same way but when debugging, what is displayed in the running command window will also show in the VSConsole window inside Visual Studio.

Customize the display as you want it: colors; font; size.

You can access the settings via Tools > Options > VSConsole, or right click on the window and select Options.
