Having, with Panther, gotten a command-line with easy to turn on coloring of directory listings, I went in search of something that would tell me what colors I could use.

Hehe. I went looking for information again this year on planting a winter lawn (something we have to do in Arizona since the Bermuda that survuves the summer heat can't survive the cooler winter temps) and discovered that my weblog post from last year is the #2 result on Google for arizona winter lawn.
