That above is not zsh outputting colours. It's a property of the terminal. You're using the "ANSI Colour Escapes". The colours and effects are defined and standardised by the American National Standards Institute. You could modify the source-code of the terminal program to handle more colours and more effects. Many/most terminal programs will allow you to change the precise colour-tones used through their normal config. In all of this, zsh does nothing. There's a couple of added features where zsh simply knows about the escapes and can output them. -- Magizine: A weekly read for wise men
