use this
and,


for foreground:
\e[38;5;123m or \\033[38;5;123m


for background:
\e[48;5;123m or \\033[48;5;123m


change 123 to the color-code you need


example:

echo -e "\\033[38;5;15mGit\\033[38;5;0m\\033[48;5;208mhub\\033[0m"

Is there italic with colors?
Because if I add \033[3m, there's no italic and the colors are inverted.

Maybe you’d like to replace "Intensty" with "Intensity". Thank you for this nice gist

printf "\e[0;30mBlack\n"
printf "\e[0;31mRed\n"
printf "\e[0;32mGreen\n"
printf "\e[0;33mYellow\n"
printf "\e[0;34mBlue\n"
printf "\e[0;35mPurple\n"
printf "\e[0;36mCyan\n"
printf "\e[0;37mWhite\n"

printf "\e[1;30mbold Black\n"
printf "\e[1;31mbold Red\n"
printf "\e[1;32mbold Green\n"
printf "\e[1;33mbold Yellow\n"
printf "\e[1;34mbold Blue\n"
printf "\e[1;35mbold Purple\n"
printf "\e[1;36mbold Cyan\n"
printf "\e[1;37mbold White\n"

printf "\e[0;90mhigh intensity Black\n"
printf "\e[0;91mhigh intensity Red\n"
printf "\e[0;92mhigh intensity Green\n"
printf "\e[0;93mhigh intensity Yellow\n"
