+ <p>Map of color name strings to color values in <code>0xBBGGRR</code> or <code>"#RRGGBB"</code>
+ format.
+ Note: for applications running within a terminal emulator, only 16 color
+ values are recognized, regardless of how many colors a user&rsquo;s terminal
+ actually supports. (A terminal emulator&rsquo;s settings determines how to actually
+ display these recognized color values, which may end up being mapped to a
+ completely different color set.) In order to use the light variant of a
+ color, some terminals require a style&rsquo;s <code>bold</code> attribute must be set along
+ with that normal color. Recognized color values are black (0x000000), red
+ (0x000080), green (0x008000), yellow (0x008080), blue (0x800000), magenta
+ (0x800080), cyan (0x808000), white (0xC0C0C0), light black (0x404040), light
+ red (0x0000FF), light green (0x00FF00), light yellow (0x00FFFF), light blue
+ (0xFF0000), light magenta (0xFF00FF), light cyan (0xFFFF00), and light white
+ (0xFFFFFF).</p>
