The one I use came with the documentation of an ftp/sftp client I use, 
yafc. Tis information is very hard to come by if one is in a bind, so I'll 
include it here. Yafc's info file says:

Colors
======
 Escape codes can be used to display colors in the transfer strings
and the prompts. All escape codes must be surrounded by %{ and %} pairs
for readline to correctly wrap long lines.
 The built-in command `ls' has an option `--color'. You must set the
environment variable LS_COLORS (or LS_COLOURS) for this to work. See
manpage for GNU ls(1) and *note dircolors: (fileutils)dircolors
invocation, for information how to do this. If you don't set
LS_COLO[U]RS, you can still use the `--color' option, since Yafc
provides some default settings.
ANSI attribute codes
--------------------
 An ANSI escape sequence has the format `ESC[X;Ym', where `ESC' is
the escape character (octal 033). `X' and, optionally, `Y', is one of
the following escape codes:
 * attribute codes
 - 00 = none
 - 01 = bold
 - 04 = underscore
 - 05 = blink
 - 07 = reverse
 - 08 = concealed
 * text color codes
 - 30 = black
 - 31 = red
 - 32 = green
 - 33 = yellow
 - 34 = blue
 - 35 = magenta
 - 36 = cyan
 - 37 = white
 * background color codes
 - 40 = black
 - 41 = red
 - 42 = green
 - 43 = yellow
 - 44 = blue
 - 45 = magenta
 - 46 = cyan
 - 47 = white
 For example, the sequence `ESC[1;32myafc rulesESC[0m' will be the
string `yafc rules' in bright green, after which the attribute is
restored to normal.
