log4j 2 - collor logs for intelij console - log4j2

Question

I try to config log4j to appends loggs in diffrent color per log type (INFO, ERROR, DEBUG etc.)
Here is my log4j2.xml:
<Configuration monitorInterval="60">
<Properties>
<Property name="log-path">applogs</Property>
</Properties>
<Appenders>
<Console name="Console-Appender" target="SYSTEM_OUT">
<PatternLayout>
<pattern>
%highlight{%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} %-5level %logger{36}.%M() [%L] - %msg%n}{FATAL=red, ERROR=red, WARN=yellow, INFO=green}
</pattern>
</PatternLayout>
</Console>
<someMoreAppenders>
</Appenders>
<Loggers>
<Logger name="RepositoriesController" level="info" additivity="false">
<AppenderRef ref="Console-Appender"/>
</Logger>
<Root level="error" additivity="false">
<AppenderRef ref="Console-Appender"/>
</Root>
</Loggers>
</Configuration>
And in class RepositoriesController, i create logger in this way:
private static final Logger logger = LogManager.getLogger("RepositoriesController");
logger.info("Hello, World!");
My log4j.properties are empty. Output seems to be formatted used by my pattern but font color is still white:
Intelij console
i tried to add this properties:
spring.main.banner-mode=off
spring.output.ansi.enabled=ALWAYS
and modify pattern but without succesed, any advices?

<Console name="Console" target="SYSTEM_OUT">
<PatternLayout pattern="%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%t]
%highlight{%level}{FATAL=bg_red, ERROR=red, WARN=yellow, INFO=green, DEBUG=blue} - %msg%n" />
</Console>
%highlight{%level} - using this you can highlight colors for different levels of logs.
This will generate output as:
