And there's inverse modes, where you can select background colours. The DIR_COLORS file gives you what you've got to choose from, the list of foreground colour codes, background colour codes, and the style variations. e.g. 01=bold, 31=red foreground, 43=yellow background, put together as a string like 01;31;43 combines them altogether. It's based on the old digital RGB+I video systems (16 colours), using ANSI codes (like on BBSs) to pick which colours to use. You do realise that if you use something like Gnome terminal that you can redefine the colours. e.g. You can make the blue paler. -- (Currently running FC4, occasionally trying FC5.)
