If there is any, I'd have added the link instead :).
So I used the description from the code I got inspiration when adding COLORFGBG
support into iproute2. This description is actually complete for our usage of
the variable. If you don't like it, even mentioning COLORFGBG in man would be
better than nothing (one would look into the source).
People have asked for it before [1].

Kind regards,
Petr
