echo color coding stopped working in mountain lion The following produced text with different color on terminal in Lion, but not in Mountain Lion. Why? What can be done to echo in color on Mountain Lion?

echo -e "Some text \e[0;32m in color \e[0m no more color";


In mountain Lion it just prints as if -e wasn't given as an argument to echo.
The problem was that the escape code \e has been removed in mountain lion's version of echo. 
Change \e to \033 and it will work.
