SGR 90–97 — Bright foreground color

Byte forms

Every common string-literal form so you can paste-and-search either direction.

Description

Non-standard but ubiquitously supported aixterm extension that exposes the upper 8 of the original 16-color palette as their own SGR parameters. 90 bright black (gray), 91 bright red, ..., 97 bright white. Equivalent to combining `\x1b[1m` + a basic color on terminals that use bold-as-bright; on modern terminals the two paths render differently and bright codes are preferred.

Spec citation: aixterm color extension (xterm-ctlseqs)

Examples

for c in 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97; do printf "\033[${c}m■\033[0m"; done; echo

for c in range(90, 98): print(f'\x1b[{c}m■\x1b[0m', end='')

for c := 90; c <= 97; c++ { fmt.Printf("\x1b[%dm■\x1b[0m", c) }

for (let c = 90; c <= 97; c++) process.stdout.write(`\x1b[${c}m■\x1b[0m`)

for (int c = 90; c <= 97; c++) printf("\x1b[%dm■\x1b[0m", c);
