All color variables are ANSI color codes. You can specify multiple codes
separated by a semicolon. For example: 31;1 will make the text bold and red.
Task also supports 8-bit color (256 colors). You can specify these colors by
using the sequence 38;2;R:G:B for foreground colors and 48;2;R:G:B for
background colors where R, G and B should be replaced with values between
0 and 255.
For convenience, we allow foreground colors to be specified using shorthand,
comma-separated syntax: R,G,B. For example, 255,0,0 is equivalent to
38;2;255:0:0.
