        Valid built-in area names are described below. Note, all names are
        case-insensitive, and you may use <em>-</em>, <em>_</em>, and <em>.</em> interchangeably,

        transparent when you are using a terminal with a transparent
        background.

<div class="paragraph"><p>Colors can also be specified using the keywords <strong>color0</strong>, <strong>color1</strong>, &#8230;,
<strong>colorN-1</strong> (where <strong>N</strong> is the number of colors supported by your terminal).
This is useful when you remap the colors for your display or want to enable
colors supported by 88-color and 256-color terminals. Note that the <em>color</em>
prefix is optional. If you prefer, you can specify colors directly by their
numbers <strong>0</strong>, <strong>1</strong>, &#8230;, <strong>N-1</strong> instead, just like in the configuration file of
Git.</p></div>
