How to get colored output in Mercurial

Hi all, I installed Mercurial but I am not able to get colored output on my SSH terminal session both on a Mac then on a Linux box. In .hgrc I added the following lines to enable it:

[ui]
username = my_user_name

color =
convert =
graphlog =

None of the extensions installed are working. My .hgrc file is located into my user folder. Thank you all for your help.

It seems that your [extensions] tag is missing from your .hgrc file, so none of your extensions are properly set and working. You can find more info at Mercurial's wiki.

It should work if you change your .hgrc file to something like:

[extensions]
color =
convert =
graphlog =
