Now I only need to figure out what exactly "di=01;34" vs. "di=38;5;33" means...
di = directories to be coloured thus 01 = bold or bright (depends on the terminal which one it does) 34 = blue
If the third one is a set of ANSI colour codes, then I'd say:
38 = an extra colour beyond the defaults, so you probably have something else that defines what that colour is 5 = flashing text 33 = brown (i.e. dark yellow), possibly this is a fallback option if the other colour doesn't work
Alternatively, is it a set of RGB colour codes? Like this:
38 = 38/256 of red 5 = 5/256 of green 22 = 33/256 of blue
But only an educated guess.
(I wrote fractions, as it's probably a red level of 38 out of a range of 0 to 255, darkest to brightest, respectively.)
