Description

Now we have only 5 colors (https://github.com/mysticatea/npm-run-all/blob/master/lib/run-task.js#L25). It would be nice to have more color, it is often that the tasks of more than 5 and some of the same color, which is not very convenient

Research direction
The issue requests more colors for task output. The current color list is in `lib/run task.js` at line 25. Investigate what colors are currently used (likely an array of strings) and add additional distinct colors. Consider using a library like chalk or simply adding more hex/ANSI color codes. Ensure the new colors are visually distinguishable and consistent with the existing CLI style. Check if any comment or linked PR provides guidance on preferred colors.
