Magenta is one of the standard ANSI terminal colors, so that is probably the
color you are seeing in the `dnf` output as "purple".
Simplest example, using module:
raku -e 'use Terminal::ANSIColor; say color("magenta"), "this is in
purple(magenta)", color("reset");'
Just the four purples, in raw ANSI codes:
raku -e 'say "\e\[{.[0]};{.[1]}m {.[0]};{.[1]} \e\[m " for (0,1) X (35,95);'
Full color grid:
raku -e '
my @fg = (31..37) X+ (0,60);
my @bg = (41..47) X+ (0,60);
say " ", @bg.fmt("--%3d--", " ");
for @fg -> $f {
print $f.fmt("%3d:");
for @bg -> $b {
for 0,1 -> $a {
my $z = "$a;$f;$b";
print "\e\[{$z}m $a \e\[m ";
}
}
say "";
}'
