Spectrum
========
Provides for easier use of 256 colors and effects.
To learn more about text formatting, read [That 256 Color Thing][1].
Variables
---------
- `BG` provides background colors.
- `FG` provides foreground colors.
- `FX` provides effects.
### Background and Foreground
Terminals support 8, 16, 88, and 256 colors. Check if a terminal supports 256
colors with `tput colors` before use.
The following colors are supported.
- 0 to 255
- black
- red
- green
- yellow
- blue
- magenta
- cyan
- white
### Effects
Though there are many effects, most terminals support at least bold formatting.
**Not all effects work on all terminals; use them sparingly.**
