Help - Color Problem in CppDroid

Question

Im currently trying to get a hang of ANSI escape sequences as ncurses library is not there in CppDroid, but the basic linux functions seems to work there...

So I tried these codes:

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout<<"\033[30;43mHello";
}

This printed Black Text on a Yellow Background, exactly what I wanted.

Now I applied bold as well using 1;

But in this:

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout<<"\033[1;30;43mHello";
}

The text is shown in gray color. Why?

Answer 1

Answer 2

I don't know how it works but i tried with it.

#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>

// cout << "\033[1;30;45mWord" << endl;

using namespace std;

int main()
{
for(int i=0 ; i<101 ; i++)
{
for(int j=0 ; j<101 ; j++)
{
stringstream ss;
ss << "\033[" << i << ";" << j << "mWord" << endl;
cout << i << "\t" << j << "\t" << ss.str() << endl;
}
}
return 0;
}

This is fuckin magic

@Kinshuk Vasishit
On the page is
" \033[1;#m - makes colored text bold** "
and then
**(this could be usefull for those who want more colors. The efect given by bold will give a color change effect)
so color of the text is other

Answer 7

Yes I understood that.
But if black is changed to dark gray, is there some color which is changed to black?
Ill try with the loops then.

Thank you Again!

Answer 8

Unfortunately, my problem is still unsolved...

But the link you shared has the explanation that bold manipulates colors to some extent.

So, now, Is there a way to maintain the black color with bold, without letting it change to gray?
