I have checked all over the internet and could still not find a table of ascii colors, so do any of you have any table of ascii colors?

You probably mean ansi escapes and colour codes, which can be found on Google: http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=ANSI+colour+codes

ANSI??? Isn't ASCII the character set to be used here.

ascii colors

Does Comic Sans imply a geocities page with purple text on a yellow background?


My crystal ball says you're probably after the default palette in text mode.

"character set" is the operative phrase - colours have nothing to do with characters.

Yes, you're probably right. I use following color codes for default palette (for 18-bit VGA DAC):

00 00 00
00 00 2A
00 2A 00
00 2A 2A
2A 00 00
2A 00 2A
2A 15 00
2A 2A 2A
15 15 15
15 15 3F
15 3F 15
15 3F 3F
3F 15 15
3F 15 3F
3F 3F 15
3F 3F 3F

ASCII is a set of characters, not colours.
Colours depends on the colour palette;
For example 16- colour palette have 16 colours,

16 colour palette:
0 BLACK
1 BLUE
2 GREEN
3 CYAN
4 RED
5 MAGENTA
6 BROWN
7 LIGHT GREY
8 DARK GREY
9 LIGHT BLUE
10 LIGHT GREEN
11 LIGHT CYAN
12 LIGHT RED
13 LIGHT MAGENTA
14 LIGHT BROWN
15 WHITE

PEBKAC on that?

Also, What you tried to say already got posted earlier

I had opened a website for beginners and now there are some complicated tutorials. Total of 26 tutorials. Now I am running an neat setup so again removing and adding the tutorials.

The problem I faced was out of 100 aprox 70 would be dumb questions like this one.
Questions like "How to put black colour for ASCII Code??".But I have plucked out those from the forums.

That's why I posted my solution on different topic because every beginner would see the heading and not ask about it.

That's what i ment 'posts earlier'

Reference material belongs on the Wiki. Which, incidentially, already has the information: Text UI.

Forum threads are a very poor repository for persistent information.
