Describe the problem/challenge you have

In order to include a shortcut for kapp in k9s (see derailed/k9s#1830), I need to pipe kapp output to the less command.

Unless the export FORCE_COLOR=1 prereq, the kapp inspect | less -R fails to display colors. Same with --color or --tty flags

After searching a while, finally found the flag in https://kubernetes.slack.com/archives/CH8KCCKA5/p1600180101408100?thread_ts=1600180052.407500&cid=CH8KCCKA5

Describe the solution you'd like

kapp --help displays :

Environment Variables:
 - FORCE_COLOR: set to 1 to force colors to the printed. Useful in 'kapp ..| less -R'

Anything else you would like to add:
