The executable file does not pick up whichever start-up file it is in
which you are doing something like
autoload colors
colors
so $fg is not defined. I'm guessing it's .zshrc. If you move this to
.zshenv it should work (unless you are explicitly suppressing that with
the -f option).
The second set, being raw escape sequences, are always interpreted by
the terminal.
