If a CMakeLists.txt file turns it on then the cache value doesn't
matter.  It is only used to initialize the CMake variable of the same name.

CMake is supposed to detect whether stdout is a tty capable of
displaying color before it sends the escape sequences.  Its test is very
conservative and favors non-color if it isn't sure.  What is the value
of TERM in the compilation window?

  M-x compile
  Compile command: set |grep TERM
