no, i have no good documentation, i googled around
for colors i searched :-)
I'm aware of BASH's use of colors, but, I'm not always at a console that
displays colors. (I've not found an Android app that will display them
on my Galaxy Tab for instance.)
Besides, I think a healthy dose of paranoia is not a bad thing. If it
works for you, that's great. I've found that it's not always good to
rely on things like that if you have to access consoles from odd devices
like mobile phones.
