I made a cheat sheet that I hope will be useful to you and others. I took the output of
dircolors --print-database
And then "translated" the color codes, then attempted to create a visual with the colors.
There are a few things that I couldn't find by listing the database, and I took a stab at the meanings. If anyone spots and error please let me know I and will ammend it. Also any additional stuff that I haven't included would be appreciated also.
I originally did everything with html, but we can't use html in our posts. Also for the visual, I wanted monospace fonts. So I made images intead. Also the cheat sheet can be printed out, and still have the background colors included.
Colors are true to the codes. How each "terminal" application actually shows those colors is another matter.
Not gonna kill the layout of this thread with a over sized image, but here's a over sized image for printing.
