Colours in Terminals

    $ printf "\033[32mhi\033[0m"
    hi
  • \033 is Escape
  • So Escape + 3 + 2 + m tells the terminal that everything from this point onwards is in green.
  • And Escape + [ + 0 + m reverts it back to normal
  • These are some sequences: 
Sequence   What it Does
ESC[1m     Bold, intensify foreground
ESC[4m     Underscore
ESC[5m     Blink
ESC[7m     Reverse video
ESC[0m     All attributes off
