Hex is a base-16 numbering system. Do you mean 24-bit RGB? Or HLS? Or another encoding of colour? – Chris Davies Apr 12 '23 at 22:57
In the format ff0000 – Vera Apr 12 '23 at 23:04
RGB or HSL (sorry, not HLS) or some other encoding? – Chris Davies Apr 12 '23 at 23:11
The hex, example #ff0000. – Vera Apr 12 '23 at 23:41
I wonder whether it is best to use \e or \033. – Vera Apr 13 '23 at 00:21
See the tohex function in accepted answer to the duplicate Q&A. Also check the answer by ThomasDickey there (he's the maintainer of xterm and ncurses (where your tput likely comes from)) – Stéphane Chazelas Apr 13 '23 at 05:47
