Prints the word Test in green.
Here you're invoking the shell's built-in echo command, which interprets
\E:
While
echo Test > test.txt
cat test.txt | xargs -i echo -e '\E32m{}'
prints \E32mTest
In this case, you're running /bin/echo, which does not support quite the
same set of escape characters:

The above information should be enough to alliow you to correct the
problem. That and the fact that ESC (escape) is octal 33 (this
information is available via "man ascii").

Aha!
So that means it should be e.g.
/bin/echo -e '\033[01;32mTest'
Great help, thank Randall.
