Emojis in subject line for Outlook on PC/Windows only showing in Grayscale not in Colour

I'm trying to see if it is possible to have coloured emojis in the subject line for an email in Outlook on a PC/Windows. It works fine on a Mac, but on a PC/Windows they immediately turn into grayscale when entered into the subject line. When replying to that email, when the subject line goes into the body of the email, the emojis return to colour again...

We were hoping to use the coloured circle (🔴 🟡 🟢) emojis at the beginning of the subject line to stress importance for the readers.

Is it possible?

Thank you in advance!

    It's an internal email from the IT desk - trying to get them slightly more dynamic than just "PLEASE READ" since we all know no one really reads IT desk emails.....

    Thanks though!

    Just FYI, emojis in a Subject line in an email is a sure sign of a spammer.

    So don't be surprised when the email you are sending end up in the recipients spam/junk folder (if it isn't blocked outright).

    Bonne chance!
