ANSI Terminal Colors
a shamelessly "stolen" image of terminal colors

Every so often I decide I want to make some changes to my terminal or add colors to a script and then I have to go looking up a list of color codes.

Data available here.

To save future me some time, and perhaps present you, here are some tables with some codes that might help:
