Title: terminal colours
Post by: Digit on September 28, 2013, 03:52:40 PM
(yeah i said colours, not colors ~ brittish education)  ;)


here's a few ways (and please shout at me to add scrots of the lot):
nice one liner, 256:
(x=`tput op` y=`printf %76s`;for i in {0..256};do o=00$i;echo -e ${o:${#o}-3:3} `tput setaf $i;tput setab $i`${y// /=}$x;done)

perl, 256:

# use the resources for colors 0-15 - usually more-or-less a
# reproduction of the standard ANSI colors, but possibly more
# pleasing shades

# colors 16-231 are a 6x6x6 color cube
for ($red = 0; $red < 6; $red++) {
    for ($green = 0; $green < 6; $green++) {
        for ($blue = 0; $blue < 6; $blue++) {
            printf("\x1b]4;%d;rgb:%2.2x/%2.2x/%2.2x\x1b\\",
                   16 + ($red * 36) + ($green * 6) + $blue,
                   ($red ? ($red * 40 + 55) : 0),
                   ($green ? ($green * 40 + 55) : 0),
                   ($blue ? ($blue * 40 + 55) : 0));
        }
    }
}

# colors 232-255 are a grayscale ramp, intentionally leaving out
# black and white
for ($gray = 0; $gray < 24; $gray++) {
    $level = ($gray * 10) + 8;
    printf("\x1b]4;%d;rgb:%2.2x/%2.2x/%2.2x\x1b\\",
           232 + $gray, $level, $level, $level);
}


# display the colors

# first the system ones:
print "System colors:\n";
for ($color = 0; $color < 8; $color++) {
    print "\x1b[48;5;${color}m  ";
}
print "\x1b[0m\n";
for ($color = 8; $color < 16; $color++) {
    print "\x1b[48;5;${color}m  ";
}
print "\x1b[0m\n\n";

# now the color cube
print "Color cube, 6x6x6:\n";
for ($green = 0; $green < 6; $green++) {
    for ($red = 0; $red < 6; $red++) {
        for ($blue = 0; $blue < 6; $blue++) {
            $color = 16 + ($red * 36) + ($green * 6) + $blue;
            print "\x1b[48;5;${color}m  ";
        }
        print "\x1b[0m ";
    }
    print "\n";
}


# now the grayscale ramp
print "Grayscale ramp:\n";
for ($color = 232; $color < 256; $color++) {
    print "\x1b[48;5;${color}m  ";
}
print "\x1b[0m\n";


a nice classic graph:#!/bin/bash
#
#   This file echoes a bunch of color codes to the
#   terminal to demonstrate what's available.  Each
#   line is the color code of one forground color,
#   out of 17 (default + 16 escapes), followed by a
#   test use of that color on all nine background
#   colors (default + 8 escapes).
#

T='TiP'   # The test text

echo -e "\n                 40m     41m     42m     43m\
     44m     45m     46m     47m";

for FGs in '    m' '   1m' '  30m' '1;30m' '  31m' '1;31m' '  32m' \
           '1;32m' '  33m' '1;33m' '  34m' '1;34m' '  35m' '1;35m' \
           '  36m' '1;36m' '  37m' '1;37m';
  do FG=${FGs// /}
  echo -en " $FGs \033[$FG  $T  "
  for BG in 40m 41m 42m 43m 44m 45m 46m 47m;
    do echo -en "$EINS \033[$FG\033[$BG  $T  \033[0m";

a lua one, alegedly:#!/usr/bin/env lua

function print_fg(bg, pre)

io.write('\n    ')
print_fg(bg, '1;')

Just wanted to add this in here.

Run a tput colors cmd in your terminal.

(http://s23.postimg.org/z0ex22flj/2013_10_06_130330_1280x800_scrot.jpg) (http://postimg.org/image/z0ex22flj/)

We are going to enable 256 colors in your terminal because hey, it's 2013!

sudo apt-get install ncurses-term

Then put this:

export TERM=xterm-256color

Into your ~/.bashrc  or  ~/.bash_profile file.

Then run tput colors again and see the magic happen! (Don't forget to close and restart your terminal for the changes to take effect.)

Happy coloring! You can then use Digits color tables up top to see the beauty!
