Now I only need to figure out what exactly "di=01;34" vs. "di=38;5;33" means...
Ah, now found a reference for the latter
38;5;33
The 38 prefix apparently means to set the foreground colour, but a 48 prefix apparently means to set the background colour.
No idea how they're using the 5.
The 33 is a colour, but I don't know how that's defined.
Apparently, it's to do with xterm, so you might look into that.
The "3" of 38 is setaf, the 8 is the first part of the color specification. This 3 number combo is used only on terminals capable of more than the standard 8, typically 256 colors.
I think the "5" seems to be constant, perhaps meaning a color beyond the std 8 and the 33 completes the color specification.
I found two good references one for the codes themselves and one for all the color codes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code http://misc.flogisoft.com/bash/tip_colors_and_formatting
38 sets the extended foreground color which can be followed by either: 5:n where n is the color index in a standard 256 color palette or 2;r;g;b to set rgb colors from a 24 bit palette.
