Blink is a no operation because it's annoying.

For the colors 16-99 see the output of the command /colormap. Enough color pairs must've been
initialized. (193 color pairs are too few for the colors 16-99 to be used as backgrounds.)
The syntax of the color attribute in text has the format ^CN[,M]. N will be the text (foreground) color
and M the background color. A background color (M) is optional and is not always included.
N and M can maximally be two digits long. Although the colors {0,1,2,...,9} are supported you are highly
encouraged to use {00,01,02,...,09}.
A plain ^C can be used to turn the color effect off. While typing ^O will make sure ALL the text effects
gets reset. For example:
blabla ^C05,02red text on blue background^C blabla
blabla ^C09green text^O blabla
Of course settings can start with colored text and a closing ^C is not essential.
