http-server node strange character in console when start

Question

I have installed http-server on windows computer like this:

npm install http-server -g

When I start the server in a directory where there is a HTML file with a very simple code of hello Word in the console of PowerShell I'm getting this :

[![enter image description here][1]][1]

This charecters are printing forever and the server is not serving the page.

Any help would be appreciate

This happens because http-server uses the colors package. They are switching to chalk: https://github.com/http-party/http-server/pull/785
