echo -e "\033[COLOR1;COLOR2m sample text\033[0m"
The semicolon separated numbers "COLOR1" and "COLOR2" specify a
foreground and a background color.The order of the numbers does not
matter, since the foreground and background numbers fall in non-
overlapping ranges."m" terminates the escape sequence, and the text
begins immediately after that.Although setting the colors separately
also work (i.e. \033[44m\033[32m).
echo -e "\033[33;31m Color Text" - red

echo -e "\033[33;33m Color Text" - yellow
