^[[0;32m and ^[[0;36m and ^[[0;0m are ANSI Escape Sequences that
control particular aspects of the terminal (the first two set
foreground colours, green and cyan, the latter resets to normal). In
GNU Emacs' ANSI *terminal* emulation (M-x term RET) these sequences
are transformed into colours.
Could be your application just needs to run some hook with: ansi-
color-for-comint-mode-on. RTFM. (I'm only using shell command
interpreters ...)
BTW, the characters are very usual. ^[ is a control character, and
it's equal to ESC.
