That's again incorrect. "\x034" is the hexadecimal value of 52 decimal, which does not correlate with any definition of "blue" anywhere.

To set blue background in a user's terminal from a Synchronet BBS terminal server, the correct sequence is \x014. That's 0x01 (Ctrl-A) followed by the ASCII value of '4', which means "blue background" in Synchronet.
