#4 Re: grep: highlighting matches in color Posted by alfadir (141.58.xx.xx) on Mon 6 Nov 2006 at 16:57 Cool. Using the 256 color enabled Eterm one can use : export GREP_COLOR='00;38;5;226' to get a nice yellow color. If you rather like light green try export GREP_COLOR='00;38;5;157' Background is set with 48;5 if you want to mix the two.. .. well your eyes may bleed, but anyway.. export GREP_COLOR='00;38;5;157;48;5;226' Works under Eterm and should work with xterm-256. The same thing can be used with .dircolors .test 00;38;5;157;48;5;226 If one has time one can make nicer paletts and colorschemes with 256 colors than just the normal 8-16 colors that are normaly very strong and hurts your eyes.
