Outout in Colors

iDog

We can print strings in colors by using escape sequence:

echo "^[[0;36;40mXXXXXX^[[0m"

Notes:

1. "^[[" contains two characters: an Esc (press <Ctrl>-V, then Esc key), and a '['.
2. We need to 'close' the color instruction by ending with "^[[0m", otherwise the color is to be used in all the terminal.

Syntax:

^[[<attr>;<fore_color>;<back_color>m

If any of the above three values is omitted, then the default value is used. Attributes
