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.
