journalctl: how to display colors in its output?

The color support of journalctl is documented in man journalctl:

When outputting to a tty, lines are colored according to priority: lines of level ERROR and higher are colored red; lines of level NOTICE
and higher are highlighted; other lines are displayed normally.

That’s from systemd 229. As seen in the man page, There are no other built-in color controls for journalctl.
