Hello,
i use this in my .profile

echo -e "\033[31m text red"     #   [3x for text color
echo -e "\033[41m text with red background"    # [4x for background
color
echo -e "\033[0m  text standard   # white without any effects

you can use from [1m - [49m for any effects, bold, blink, reverse ...

Have fun,


Christian

30 black, 31 red, 32 green, 33 yellow, 34 blue, 35 magenta, 36 cyan,
37 white for forground, 40-47 for background

can be combined: \033[33;44m yellow on blue


> >echo -e "\033[0m  text standard   # white without any effects

Ehm. Only white (with black text) if that is your terminals
preferences. This terminal it resets to green text on black.


> >you can use from [1m - [49m for any effects, bold, blink, reverse ...

Actually only a few of the one digit ones and then 30-37 and
40-47. All others are meaningless.

1 bold, 4 underlined, 5 blink, 7 reverse fore/back color

Or course you may be surprised with the result. My terminal does
bold->yellow (really bright green) and underline->yellowgreen (half
overbright). Such is the world of terminals.

Also combinable \033[1;31m bold and red.


> mmh won't that always only color one single line? ...

No. These codes set the attributes (color and style) for all following
characters, until new setting or reset with \033[0m

\033[??m sets the colour until further notice. \033[0m will reset it.
