  * The maximum length of ANSI color sequence we would generate:
  * - leading ESC '['            2
- * - attr + ';'                 2 * 8 (e.g. "1;")
- * - fg color + ';'             9 (e.g. "38;5;2xx;")
- * - fg color + ';'             9 (e.g. "48;5;2xx;")
+ * - attr + ';'                 3 * 10 (e.g. "1;")
+ * - fg color + ';'             17 (e.g. "38;2;255;255;255;")
+ * - bg color + ';'             17 (e.g. "48;2;255;255;255;")
  * - terminating 'm' NUL        2
  *
  * The above overcounts attr (we only use 5 not 8) and one semicolon
  * but it is close enough.
