Colors in Xcode are applied only to some entries

I am using Xcode 7.2 (7C68) with the latest versions of XcodeColors plugin and CocoaLumberjack/Swift pod.

Here is how I set up logging:

private func setUpLogging() {
    DDLog.addLogger(DDASLLogger.sharedInstance(), withLevel: .Warning)

    let ttyLogger = DDTTYLogger.sharedInstance()
    ttyLogger.colorsEnabled = true
    ttyLogger.setForegroundColor(UIColor(red: 0.0, green: 0.5, blue: 0, alpha: 1.0), backgroundColor: nil, forFlag: .Info)
    ttyLogger.setForegroundColor(UIColor(red: 0.0, green: 0, blue: 0.7, alpha: 1.0), backgroundColor: nil, forFlag: .Debug)
    ttyLogger.setForegroundColor(UIColor(red: 0.5, green: 0.5, blue: 0.5, alpha: 1.0), backgroundColor: nil, forFlag: .Verbose)

    #if DEBUG
        let logLevel: DDLogLevel = .Verbose
    #else
        let logLevel: DDLogLevel = .Off
    #endif
    DDLog.addLogger(ttyLogger, withLevel: logLevel)
}

The problem is that color is applied only to some log entries, others remain black. It is reproduced both for Warn (which is colored by default) and for Debug (for which I set up color myself).

I had a similar problem where some color combinations are not picked up by Xcode's console. Could you try some color variations?

@rivera-ernesto I tried setting UIColor.blueColor() and removing other color customizations:

ttyLogger.setForegroundColor(UIColor.blueColor(), backgroundColor: nil, forFlag: .Debug)

the issue persists.

Here's how the raw console output in AppCode looks (attached as screenshot to make sure ESC characters are visible):

Seems a bit inconsistent to me.
Not sure I can say which lines of the above are in color, it is applied to different lines every time I run the app.

This problem was caused by MCLog plugin. After I removed it, everything works just fine.
