Where do they come from, I wonder? What part of your distro produces them? My RHL did not print any escape sequences for colored "[ok]" on serial console.
Linux prints the escape sequences at boot when console=prom. Proll prints the text to graphical console (TCX, black text on white bg). Later, when Linux switches to the tcxfb console, the garbage gets cleared and text is grey on black. On a serial console, probably your terminal emulator handles the escape codes.
