bash COMPREPLY with custom colors

Is there a way to have a COMPREPLY return colored output?
I can get it to work when readline recognizes the output as a folder when I have bind "set colored-stats on", but I can't make my own colors.



I tried using



COMPREPLY[i]="[E[01;34m]$COMPREPLY[i][E[0m]"


and



COMPREPLY[i]=$(printf "%b%s%b" "x01E[01;34mx02" "$COMPREPLY[i]" "x01E[0mx02")


but the first prints those characters literally and the second prints ^A^[[0m^B for all options. Removing the [ ] wrappers makes every option be ^[[0m
