The escape sequences are defined in ECMA-048, a link to the PDF is at
<http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-048.htm>. 
This has also been adopted as ISO 6429, but ISO does not offer a free 
downloadable version.

It is not the easiest of documents to decipher, but the colour codes are on 
page 62, part of the section "8.3.117 SGR - SELECT GRAPHIC RENDITION".

You can string together many codes between the 'ESC[' and 'm', separated by 
semicolons, but which ones work varies depending on what has been 
implemented in the kind of terminal, and perhaps also on other settings.
