      colorn: colour
              Use the specified colour for the  colour  value  n,
              where  0-7  corresponds  to  low-intensity (normal)
              colours  and  8-15  corresponds  to  high-intensity
              (bold  =  bright  foreground,  blink = bright back-
              ground) colours.  The canonical names are  as  fol-
              lows:  0=black,  1=red,  2=green, 3=yellow, 4=blue,
              5=magenta, 6=cyan, 7=white, but the  actual  colour
              names  used  are  listed in the COLORS AND GRAPHICS
              section.

Well the listing in 'COLORS AND GRAPHICS' as mentioned above is
missing in the manpage unfortunately, nut you may find them in
thew source...
