RedHat Colors not being Interpreted
Hello, I am having an issue with ANSI colors in Redhat linux.

I am running a script where the colours have been set very early on as follows:
Code:
# Reset
Color_Off='\033[0m'       # Text Reset

# Regular Colors
Black='\033[0;30m'        # Black
Red='\033[0;31m'          # Red
Green='\033[0;32m'        # Green
Yellow='\033[0;33m'       # Yellow
Blue='\033[0;34m'         # Blue
Purple='\033[0;35m'       # Purple
Cyan='\033[0;36m'         # Cyan
White='\033[0;37m'        # White

# Bold
BBlack='\033[1;30m'       # Black
BRed='\033[1;31m'         # Red
BGreen='\033[1;32m'       # Green
BYellow='\033[1;33m'      # Yellow
BBlue='\033[1;34m'        # Blue
BPurple='\033[1;35m'      # Purple
BCyan='\033[1;36m'        # Cyan
BWhite='\033[1;37m'       # White

Later in the script these are used to color define sections of output by reffering to them using:
Code:
 ${White} blah blah blah ${Color_off}

Now this works fine on an AIX server I have already deplyed this too, but Redhat seems not to interpret these codes as the output is for example:
Code:
\033[0;37m blah blah blah \033[0m

The script runs in korn shell (ksh) and I have tried running it as bash although it breaks some other parts of the script and does not help with the color issue.

Has anyone experienced this or have any possibly solutions for me?
(Apart from removing the color coding as this is my backup option)

desktop_palette

desktop_palette(3alleg4)					  Allegro manual					  desktop_palette(3alleg4)

NAME

       desktop_palette - The palette used by the Atari ST low resolution desktop. Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       extern PALETTE desktop_palette;

DESCRIPTION

       The  palette  used by the Atari ST low resolution desktop. I'm not quite sure why this is still here, except that the grabber and test pro-
       grams use it. It is probably the only Atari legacy code left in Allegro, and it would be a shame to remove it :-)

       The contents of this palette are 16 colors repeated 16 times. Color entry zero is equal to color entry 16, which is equal  to  color  entry
       24, etc.

	  Index      Color	 RGB values
	    0	  White 	 63  63  63
	    1	  Red		 63   0   0
	    2	  Green 	  0  63   0
	    3	  Yellow	 63  63   0
	    4	  Blue		  0   0  63
	    5	  Pink		 63   0  63
	    6	  Cyan		  0  63  63
	    7	  Grey		 16  16  16
	    8	  Light grey	 31  31  31
	    9	  Light red	 63  31  31
	   10	  Light green	 31  63  31
	   11	  Light yellow	 63  63  31
	   12	  Light blue	 31  31  63
	   13	  Light pink	 63  31  63
	   14	  Light cyan	 31  63  63
	   15	  Black 	  0   0   0
