No, wrong again. Ctrl-A code sequences are 2 characters/bytes in length (not 3 as you have shown in your example). And the color code (attribute) values that follow the Ctrl-A character are printable/non-control ASCII characters: alpha characters for foeground colors, decimal digitsl for background colors.
