    The correct sequences are actually CSI 38:2:<r>:<g>:<b> m (colons, not semi-colons). Using semi-colons means potentially toggling unexpected bits in the graphic rendition (ie: dim).

    @rswindell Not sure, other than asking... also not sure how utf8 is detected for that matter. Was just thinking it would be nice for color matching/translation since many terminals support the feature, and the default colors are off compared to dos color defaults.. for that matter, not sure what the colors are/were for comodore etc.@Deuce Haven't seen an example using colons, everything I've read is only using semi-colons, but yeah, might mess with things, I don't know what terminals and compatability options there are to check for.

    UTF-8 is auto-detected based on cursor position during automatic terminal detection upon logon. The feature you're describing does not sound like it could be auto-detected.When you say "the default colors are off" - I don't know what you're referring to. The default colors of what? In the terminals I use, the colors seem right.
