Is there a place where all these (I assume ANSI) escape sequences for colors are listed? When I have that information, I can probably untic an existing terminfo entry, modify it and tic it back to another name and use that.
The one I use came with the documentation of an ftp/sftp client I use, yafc. Tis information is very hard to come by if one is in a bind, so I'll include it here. Yafc's info file says:
---begin quote
Colors ======
Escape codes can be used to display colors in the transfer strings
and the prompts. All escape codes must be surrounded by %{ and %} pairs
for readline to correctly wrap long lines.The built-in command `ls' has an option `--color'. You must set the environment variable LS_COLORS (or LS_COLOURS) for this to work. See manpage for GNU ls(1) and *note dircolors: (fileutils)dircolors invocation, for information how to do this. If you don't set LS_COLO[U]RS, you can still use the `--color' option, since Yafc provides some default settings.
ANSI attribute codes --------------------
An ANSI escape sequence has the format `ESC[X;Ym', where `ESC' is the escape character (octal 033). `X' and, optionally, `Y', is one of the following escape codes:
* attribute codes
- 00 = none
- 01 = bold
- 04 = underscore
- 05 = blink
- 07 = reverse
- 08 = concealed
* text color codes
- 30 = black
- 31 = red
- 32 = green
- 33 = yellow
- 34 = blue
- 35 = magenta
- 36 = cyan
- 37 = white
* background color codes
- 40 = black
- 41 = red
- 42 = green
- 43 = yellow
- 44 = blue
- 45 = magenta
- 46 = cyan
- 47 = white
For example, the sequence `ESC[1;32myafc rulesESC[0m' will be the string `yafc rules' in bright green, after which the attribute is restored to normal.
