Using color in scripts

This is supposed to colorize.

But it outputs this

Code:

3[0;32mFile exists.3[0m

Code:

GREEN='3[0;32m'
RED='3[0;31m'
WHITE='3[0;37m'
RESET='3[0m'
FILE="/usr/share/sounds/My_Sounds/Short_doorbell.wav"

if [ -f "$FILE" ];
then
     echo -e "${GREEN}File exists.${RESET}"
else
     echo -e "${RED}File does NOT exist.${RESET}"
     
fi
