    HELP:
      'color' is a class like component to simplify the handling of ansi colors and keeps
      the color settings readable. A set NO_COLOR=1 will be respected.

    FUNCTIONS:

      ---------- Information:

      color.help       this help
      color.list       show a table with valid color names
      color.presets    show a table with defined custom presets

      color.count      get count of colors in the current terminal

      color.debugon    enable debugging
      color.debugoff   disable debugging
      color.debugstatus  show debugstatus

      ---------- Colored output:

      color.bg COLOR (COLOR2)
                       set a background color; a 2nd parameter is optional to set
                       a foreground color too
      color.fg COLOR (COLOR2)
                       set a foreground color; a 2nd parameter is optional to set
                       a background color too
      color.preset PRESET
                       Apply the color set of foreground and background of a given 
                       preset name.
      color.echo COLOR|PRESET (COLOR2) TEXT
                       write a colored text with carriage return and reset colors
                       The 1st param must be a COLOR(code/ name) for the 
                       foreground or a label of a preset.
                       The 2nd CAN be a color for the background, but can be 
                       skipped.
                       Everything behind is text for the output.
      color.print COLOR|PRESET (COLOR2) TEXT
                       see color.echo - the same but without carriage return.
      color.reset      reset colors
      color.set RAWCOLOR (RAWCOLOR2 (... RAWCOLOR_N))
                       set ansi colors; it can handle multiple color values


      ---------- Other:

      color.blink      start blinking text
      color.bold       start bold text
      color.invert     start inverted text
      color.underline  start underline text

    VALUES:
      COLOR            a color; it can be...
                       - a color keyword, eg black, blue, red, ... for all
                         known values run 'color.list'
                       - a value 0..7 to set basic colors 30..37 (or 40..47)
                       - an ansi color value eg. "30" or "1;42"
                       - RGB hexcode with '#' as prefix followed by 2 digit 
                         hexcode for red, green and blue eg. "#10404f" 
                         (like css rgb color codes)
      PRESET           Name of a custom preset; see DEFINE PRESETS below.
      RAWCOLOR         an ansi color value eg. "30" (black foreground) or 
                       "1;42" (lightgreen background)


    DEFINE PRESETS:
      A shortcut for a combination of foreground + background color. The label
      is part of a bash variable with the prefix 'COLOR_PRESET_'.
      The value is a bash array with 2 colors for foreground and background. 
      See the value description for COLOR above.

      SYNTAX:
      COLOR_PRESET_<LABEL>=(<FOREGROUND> <BACKGROUND>)

      To see all defined presets use 'color.presets'


    EXAMPLES:
      First you need to source the file $_self.
      . $_self

      (1)
      Show output of the command 'ls -l' in blue
        color.fg "blue"
        ls -l
        color.reset

      (2)
      show a red error message
        color.echo "red" "ERROR: Something went wrong."

      (3)
      Use a custom preset:
        COLOR_PRESET_error=("white" "red")
        color.echo "error" "ERROR: Something went wrong."

      This defines a preset named "error". "white" is a colorname
      for the foreground color, "red" ist the background.
