OSC 4

The Ps = 4 refers to (OSC Ps ; Pt ST) where OSC (the "Operating System Control" prefix) is ESC ] and ST (the "String Terminator" suffix) is backslash. The "4" is one of the possible subcommands to OSC.

general form:

OSC PS ; Pt ST

where

OSC = ESC]     ;; "Operating System Command|Control"
ESC = \x1b     ;; \x1b implements escape when using 'printf'
PS = 4         ;; one of possible subcommands to OSC
ST = backslash ;; "String Terminator" suffix

CSI Control Sequence Indicator

CSI = ESC[     ;; ?

example

\x1b[30m;      ;; switch the foreground color to black
\x1b[31m;      ;; switch the foreground color to red
\x1b[41m;      ;; switch the background color to red    
\x1b[30;1m;    ;; using 'bold' parameter, switch to gray
\x1b[0m        ;; reset to defaults

colors

Change Color Number c to the color specified by spec:

Ps = 4  ; c ; spec

This can be a name or RGB specification as per XParseColor. Any number of c name pairs may be given. The color numbers correspond to the ANSI colors 0-7, their bright versions 8-15, and if supported, the remainder of the 88-color or 256-color table.

solarized termcolor

ANSI=$1
RGB=$2
printf "\x1b]4;$ANSI;rgb:${RGB}\a"

example: cset 0 $base02

printf "\x1b]4;0;rgb:07/36/42\a"
