my terminal emulator is terminator, I also tried xterm (same result)

and echo $TERM gives me:
xterm-256color

My system is Debian Buster, but not sure if that is relevant

what terminal emulator are you using ?

Hi,

I had posted this a few hours ago, but got caught in moderation for 
size.  I trimmed down the pic and attached.


I am on an Ubuntu 16 workstation, in an Ubuntu terminal window, ssh'ed 
to the PBX (amazon instance).  You can see my term type matches yours.

That means that Asterisk is not echoing the escape character (27) to your 
terminal.

Try different escape formats (octal, slash prefix, etc)

Have you tried adding ANSI color escape codes?

There's lots of documentation for BASH prompt color using escape codes.  Give 
those a try.

(I haven't tried it, but would make sense)
