Not sure what your "roller" is but you should be able to get past this with the following:

#TR {^~{Does your terminal support ANSI color~? ~[Y/n~}$} {Y}

(untested)

this trig does not seem to function i deleted the {} at the ends of the command line and tried the {y} as Y and ~{Y~} with no sucesss

The problem is that triggers, by default, wait for a newline to be received from the MUD before they process a line and see if it matched. When you receive the message
Does your terminal support ANSI color? [Y/n]
from the MUD, it doesn't send a newline because it is waiting for some input from you and not just displaying some message. This is what we normally call a prompt.

So, to make a trigger parse the line and check for matches before it receives a newline, you need to use the prompt option on that trigger. Example:
#TR {^~{Does your terminal support ANSI color~? ~[Y/n~}$} {Y} "" {prompt}

If you want to do it through the Settings Editor, you will find this option in the Options tab for that trigger. There is a section that says Trigger On: with three checkboxes. Just make sure prompt is selected.

I believe the problem here is a simple typo try this:

#TR {^~{Does your terminal support ANSI color~? ~[Y/n~]$} {Y}

I think your mud output was suppose to have a bracket instead of a curly brace, yes?
If not, then ignore this post :)

Another solution is to provide the answer without waiting for the question. Since you know the question is coming, add the y (or n) to your autoroller's Y answer.

#TR {autoroller phrase} {#IF (good roll) {y;y} {n}}
