Ah, now found a reference for the latter
38;5;33
The 38 prefix apparently means to set the foreground colour,
but a 48 prefix apparently means to set the background colour.
No idea how they're using the 5.
The 33 is a colour, but I don't know how that's defined.
Apparently, it's to do with xterm, so you might look into that.
The "3" of 38 is setaf, the 8 is the first part of the color
specification. This 3 number combo is used only on terminals
capable of more than the standard 8, typically 256 colors.
I think the "5" seems to be constant, perhaps meaning a color
beyond the std 8 and the 33 completes the color specification.
