Not sure exactly what you're asking here; you obviously know about
``vidcontrol <foreground> <background>''
This script shows a wider range of combinations:
#!/bin/sh
# Display ANSI colours.

esc="\033["
echo -e "\t 40\t 41\t 42\t 43\t 44 45\t46\t 47"

line1="$fore "
line2=" "
for back in 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47; do
line1="${line1}${esc}${back};${fore}m Normal ${esc}0m"
line2="${line2}${esc}${back};${fore};1m Bold ${esc}0m"
done
echo -e "$line1\n$line2"
