The FreeBSD console does support color. Setting your TERM to cons25 should
allow you to use color-using programs without problems.

The console works like a charm, here. I use cons25 as the terminal type,
and at times, I fire up screen(1), set my TERM to vt220 and test programs
in monochrome mode.
It's hard to guess what problems you could be having, without more
information about:
a) Your terminal type.
b) What you are trying to do and stumble upon problems.
c) What those problems are.
