termcap/terminfo styling is limited to features like underline, bold and reverse. No coloring, per se.

"man terminfo | grep color" shows that pretty clearly to not be the case. There's plenty of codes for setting colors.

It's entirely possible termcap and terminfo have been allowing applications to color their output for longer than you've been alive.
