Colors
To configure alternative colors just set the JQ_COLORS
environment variable to colon-delimited list of partial terminal
escape sequences like "1;31", in this order:
- color for
null - color for
false - color for
true - color for numbers
- color for strings
- color for arrays
- color for objects
- color for object keys
The default color scheme is the same as setting
JQ_COLORS="0;90:0;39:0;39:0;39:0;32:1;39:1;39:1;34".
This is not a manual for VT100/ANSI escapes. However, each of these color specifications should consist of two numbers separated by a semi-colon, where the first number is one of these:
- 1 (bright)
- 2 (dim)
- 4 (underscore)
- 5 (blink)
- 7 (reverse)
- 8 (hidden)
and the second is one of these:
- 30 (black)
- 31 (red)
- 32 (green)
- 33 (yellow)
- 34 (blue)
- 35 (magenta)
- 36 (cyan)
- 37 (white)
