Don't start down this path until you've read (or at least skimmed) the
full ISO/IEC 6429 standard, mirrored as ECMA-48:
http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/files/ECMA-ST/Ecma-048.pdf
There's a LOT more to the so-called "ANSI" terminal sequences than just
changing colors and moving the cursor around. There may be one or more
existing sequences that do what you want. Of course, not every terminal
will support them, but you've got a far better chance of finding a
terminal that does support existing standard sequences than getting
brand-new sequences approved by international bodies, and then getting
terminal vendors to support those.
