## Overview
This is a script that creates and exports a set of variables which contain the 8 basic colours that can be displayed on most terminals.
It could easily be extended to use more colours if wanted.
In addition it also creates and export a set of variables which handle other specific useful terminal information, cls, bold, reset etc.
The idea is for it to be included by other scripts to allow for colour to be added to a script in a clean and simple way.
## Usage
```sh
source bash-colour-include.sh
echo "${bgBlack}${fgRed}This should be red text${reset}"
echo "${bgBlack}${fgYellow}This should be yellow text${reset}"
echo "${bgWhite}${fgRed}This should be red on a white background${reset}"
```
