Red Example
echo -e "\033[0;31mThis is in RED"
echo -e "\033[1;31mThis is in BRIGHT RED"
NOTE: This is made up of:
- \033 - Represents the ESC key.
- [0; - Normal color.
- [1; - Bright color.
- [31m] - Bright Red; from color table.
As seen, Bright colors can be used simply by using a 1 after the ESC instead of a **0*.
However some older systems may not support this, so in this case use the alternative number from the color table such as
echo -e "\033[1;31mThis is in BRIGHT RED" echo -e "\033[0;91mThis is in BRIGHT RED"
Red Blue
echo -e "\033[0;31mThis is in RED\033[0;34mThis is in Blue"
ANSI Rainbow
for (( i = 30; i < 38; i++ )); do echo -e "\033[0;"$i"m Normal: (0;$i); \033[1;"$i"m Light: (1;$i)"; done
