These are the 8 ANSI colors and their bright equivalents.

Disclaimer: there are no standard colors used in terminal emulation. 62d522f475Smrg! 63d522f475Smrg! The choice for color4 and color12 is a tradeoff between contrast, depending 64d522f475Smrg! on whether they are used for text or backgrounds. Note that either color4 or 65d522f475Smrg! color12 would be used for text, while only color4 would be used for a 66d522f475Smrg! background. These are treated specially, since the luminosity of blue is 67d522f475Smrg! only about half that of red/green, and is typically not accounted for in the 68d522f475Smrg! RGB scheme. 69d522f475Smrg! 70d522f475Smrg! Blue text on a black background should be readable. 71d522f475Smrg! Blue backgrounds should not be "too" bright. 72d522f475Smrg! 73d522f475Smrg! Originally color4/color12 were set to the names blue3/blue 74d522f475Smrg!*VT100*color4: blue3 75d522f475Smrg!*VT100*color12: blue 76d522f475Smrg! 77d522f475Smrg!

Another choice was from the Debian settings: 83d522f475Smrg!*VT100*color4: DodgerBlue1 84d522f475Smrg!*VT100*color12: SteelBlue1 85d522f475Smrg! 86d522f475Smrg!

Some users object to this choice because the background (color4) is brighter 91d522f475Smrg! than they are accustomed. Others point out that the different weights for 92d522f475Smrg! the red/green components make it appear to be not really blue. Finally, it 93d522f475Smrg! provides poor contrast against color13 and color14. 94d522f475Smrg! 95d522f475Smrg! The current choice uses equal weights for red/green (effectively adding a 96d522f475Smrg! gray to the result). It is brighter than the original choice, and provides 97d522f475Smrg! more contrast between color12 and color13, color14 than SteelBlue1 did. 98d522f475Smrg! Contrast of color4 against black is slightly improved over the original. 99d522f475Smrg! 100d522f475Smrg!
