While making the PowerShell profile look and feel like PowerShell (conhost.exe) notice that cursorColor does not work unless you specified it in profiles{}. Example:

"profiles":
          {
                     "name": "Windows PowerShell",
                     "colorScheme": "PowerShell",
                     "fontFace": "Consolas",
                     "cursorColor": "#ff0000" // <-- Red -->
          }
"schemes":
          {
                     "name": "PowerShell",
                     "background": "#012456",
                     "foreground": "#eeeef0",
                     "cursorColor": "#fedba9" // <-- Very soft orange -->
          }

profile-cursorColor

"profiles":
          {
                     "name": "Windows PowerShell",
                     "colorScheme": "PowerShell",
                     "fontFace": "Consolas",
                     //"cursorColor": "#ff0000" <-- Notice that is commented -->
          }
"schemes":
          {
                     "name": "PowerShell",
                     "background": "#012456",
                     "foreground": "#eeeef0",
                     "cursorColor": "#ff0000" // <-- Red -->
          }
