\subsection set_color-description Description
Change the foreground and/or background color of the terminal.
COLOR is one of black, red, green, brown, yellow, blue, magenta,
purple, cyan, white and normal.
- \c -b, \c --background Set the background color
- \c -c, \c --print-colors Prints a list of all valid color names
- \c -h, \c --help Display help message and exit

Calling set_color normal will set the terminal color to
whatever is the default color of the terminal.
Some terminals use the --bold escape sequence to switch to a brighter
color set. On such terminals, set_color white
will result
in a grey font color, while set_color --bold white
will
result in a white font color.
Not all terminal emulators support all these features. This is not a
bug in set_color but a missing feature in the terminal emulator.
