ansi background color ansi foreground color most terminals that do not have propietary colorize escape sequencies can get color-changed by bashish by using the ansi colors. The problem is that the colors gets changed whenever ansi-color changing sequencies (that are pretty common) are issued, one might want to turn off GNU ls color output. ABGCOLOR and AFGCOLOR must be set to a color name, the avaliable names are:
black
red
green
yellow
blue
magenta
cyan
white
the color names may also be prefixed by 'bright' for brighter versions of the above colors to appear AFBGCOLOR may also be postfixed by these values (delimited by a blank - " " - character).
This is primarily meant as a fallback mode for terminals that doesn't support native fore- and background color changing
