So I need a terminal emulator to see colours? On Windows I just open a window and put colours in it.

Windows doesn’t even have a framebuffer console, so you’re not exactly comparing apples to apples here. In a Linux GUI (X or Wayland) running a modern terminal you get what you are asking for. Same as Windows except that standard Windows lacks the ability to run without a GUI.
