The Color modes:
1. Color-mode
It modifies the style of color NOT text. For example make the color bright or darker.
0; reset
1; lighter than normal
2; darker than normal
This mode is not supported widely. It is fully support on Gnome-Terminal.
2. Text-mode
This mode is for modifying the style of text NOT color.
3; italic
4; underline
5; blinking (slow)
6; blinking (fast)
7; reverse
8; hide
9; cross-out
and are almost supported.
For example KDE-Konsole supports 5; but Gnome-Terminal does not and Gnome supports 8; but KDE does not.
3. Foreground mode
This mode is for colorizing the foreground.
4. Background mode
This mode is for colorizing the background.
Colors to current BASH prompt (PS1)
To add colors to the shell prompt use the following export command syntax:
'\e[x;ym $PS1 \e[m'
Where,
\e[ : Start color scheme.
x;y : Color pair to use (x;y)
$PS1 : Your shell prompt variable.
\e[m : Stop color scheme.
Examples using export and tput,
$ export PS1="\e[0;31m[\u@\h \W]\$ \e[m "
$ export PS1="\[$(tput setaf 2)\]\u@\h:\w $ \[$(tput sgr0)\]"
tput
Foreground & background colour commands
tput setab [1-7] # Set the background colour using ANSI escape
