That is correct.

No, background colors are set with numeric Ctrl-A codes, as documented here:
https://wiki.synchro.net/custom:ctrl-a_codes

\x014 would set set the background color to blue, where "\x01" is the Ctrl-A character and 4 corresponds with the sequence of primarly color value defined in ANSI X3.64 terminal escape sequences.
