Well, there was the problem back then, that different terminals used different escape sequences, so tput was made as wrapper. Doesn't matter as much anymore, since most (but not all) emulators use the same-isch terminals and interface painting has mostly moved to GUI. But it's still something of a good manners thing.

    Basically

    yellow="$(tput setaf 3)"
blue="$(tput setaf 4)"
bluebg="$(tput setab 4)"

    Also has the advantage of the variables being empty instead of printing sequences, if the terminal doesn't support colors.
