The one I use came with the documentation of an ftp/sftp client I use, 
yafc. Tis information is very hard to come by if one is in a bind, so I'll 
include it here. Yafc's info file says:

Colors
======

    Escape codes can be used to display colors in the transfer strings
and the prompts. All escape codes must be surrounded by %{ and %} pairs
for readline to correctly wrap long lines.

    The built-in command `ls' has an option `--color'. You must set the
environment variable LS_COLORS (or LS_COLOURS) for this to work.  See
manpage for GNU ls(1) and *note dircolors: (fileutils)dircolors
invocation, for information how to do this. If you don't set
LS_COLO[U]RS, you can still use the `--color' option, since Yafc
provides some default settings.


ANSI attribute codes
--------------------

    An ANSI escape sequence has the format `ESC[X;Ym', where `ESC' is
the escape character (octal 033). `X' and, optionally, `Y', is one of
the following escape codes:

    * attribute codes

         - 00 = none

         - 01 = bold

         - 04 = underscore

         - 05 = blink

         - 07 = reverse

         - 08 = concealed


    * text color codes

         - 30 = black

         - 31 = red

         - 32 = green

         - 33 = yellow

         - 34 = blue

         - 35 = magenta

         - 36 = cyan

         - 37 = white


    * background color codes

         - 40 = black

         - 41 = red

         - 42 = green

         - 43 = yellow

         - 44 = blue

         - 45 = magenta

         - 46 = cyan

         - 47 = white



    For example, the sequence `ESC[1;32myafc rulesESC[0m' will be the
string `yafc rules' in bright green, after which the attribute is
restored to normal.
