Use tput, not raw control chars
Mar 15, 2013 at 1:13 comment added Chris Down @naxa - Yes, as this explicitly sets colour codes (except for colours that are colored in the default terminal colour, which will only take effect after the first colour).
Mar 14, 2013 at 13:16 comment added n611x007 for someone stranger to escape codes: would this preserve the original coloring of the command (eg. would ls --color=always be colored)?
