Yes: When you want to change colours, hit the escape key then the 'v' key then the escape key again then follow that with your CSI colour sequence eg. [1;31m then the rest of your text.
When you type: <esc> <v> <esc>
You should see: ^[
If not, try <Left Alt> <v> <esc>

No - ssh is a problem. A way round it is to edit your file as normal but define your own mark-up for it eg:
