NAME
       eza_colors -- customising the file and UI colours of eza

SYNOPSIS
       The  EZA_COLORS	environment  variable  can  be	used  to customise the
       colours that eza	uses to	highlight file names, file metadata, and parts
       of the UI.

       You can use the dircolors program to generate a script  that  sets  the
       variable	 from an input file, or	if you don't mind editing long strings
       of text,	you can	just type it out directly.  These variables  have  the
       following structure:

        A list	of key-value pairs separated by	`=', such as `*.txt=32'.

        Multiple  ANSI	 formatting  codes  are	 separated  by	`;',  such  as
	 `*.txt=32;1;4'.

        Finally,   multiple   pairs   are   separated	 by   `:',   such   as
	 `*.txt=32:*.mp3=1;35'.

       The  key	 half  of  the	pair can either	be a two-letter	code or	a file
       glob, and anything that's not a valid code will be treated as  a	 glob,
       including keys that happen to be	two letters long.

       For backwards compatibility EXA_COLORS environment variables is checked
       if EZA_COLORS is	unset.

EXAMPLES
       EZA_COLORS="uu=0:gu=0"
	      Disable the "current user" highlighting

       EZA_COLORS="da=32"
	      Turn the date column green

       EZA_COLORS="Vagrantfile=1;4;33"
	      Highlight	Vagrantfiles

       EZA_COLORS="*.zip=38;5;125"
	      Override the existing zip	colour

       EZA_COLORS="*.md=38;5;121:*.log=38;5;248"
	      Markdown files a shade of	green, log files a shade of grey

LIST OF	CODES
       LS_COLORS can use these ten codes:

       di     directories

       ex     executable files

       fi     regular files

       pi     named pipes

       so     sockets

       Values in EXA_COLORS override those given in LS_COLORS,	so  you	 don't
       need to re-write	an existing LS_COLORS variable with proprietary	exten-
       sions.

LIST OF	STYLES
       Unlike  some versions of	ls, the	given ANSI values must be valid	colour
       codes: eza won't	just print out whichever characters are	given.

       The codes accepted by eza are:

       1      for bold

       2      for dimmed

       3      for italic

       4      for underline

       31     for red text

       32     for green	text

       33     for yellow text

       34     for blue text

       35     for purple text

       36     for cyan text

       37     for white	text

       90     for dark gray text

       91     for bright red text

       92     for bright green text

       93     for bright yellow	text

       94     for bright blue text

       95     for bright purple	text

       96     for bright cyan text

       97     for bright text

       38;5;nnn
	      for a colour from	0 to 255 (replace the nnn part)

       Many terminals will treat bolded	text as	 a  different  colour,	or  at
       least provide the option	to.

       eza provides its	own built-in set of file extension mappings that cover
       a large range of	common file extensions,	including documents, archives,
       media,  and temporary files.  Any mappings in the environment variables
       will override this default set: running eza  with  LS_COLORS="*.zip=32"
       will  turn  zip	files  green but leave the colours of other compressed
       files alone.

       You can also disable this built-in set entirely by  including  a	 reset
       entry  at  the  beginning  of  EZA_COLORS.   So setting EZA_COLORS="re-
       set:*.txt=31" will highlight only text files;  setting  EZA_COLORS="re-
       set" will highlight nothing.
