63d522f475Smrg!
64d522f475Smrg! The choice for color4 and color12 is a tradeoff between contrast, depending
65d522f475Smrg! on whether they are used for text or backgrounds.  Note that either color4 or
66d522f475Smrg! color12 would be used for text, while only color4 would be used for a
67d522f475Smrg! background.  These are treated specially, since the luminosity of blue is
68d522f475Smrg! only about half that of red/green, and is typically not accounted for in the
69d522f475Smrg! RGB scheme.
70d522f475Smrg!
71d522f475Smrg! Blue text on a black background should be readable.
72d522f475Smrg! Blue backgrounds should not be "too" bright.
73d522f475Smrg!
74d522f475Smrg! Originally color4/color12 were set to the names blue3/blue
75d522f475Smrg!*VT100*color4: blue3
76d522f475Smrg!*VT100*color12: blue
77d522f475Smrg!
78d522f475Smrg! They are from rgb.txt respectively:
79d522f475Smrg!  0   0 205		blue3
80d522f475Smrg!  0   0 255		blue
81d522f475Smrg! However, blue3 is not readable on a black background.
82d522f475Smrg!
83d522f475Smrg! Another choice was from the Debian settings:
84d522f475Smrg!*VT100*color4: DodgerBlue1
85d522f475Smrg!*VT100*color12: SteelBlue1
86d522f475Smrg!
87d522f475Smrg! From rgb.txt:
88d522f475Smrg! 30 144 255		DodgerBlue1
89d522f475Smrg! 99 184 255		SteelBlue1
90d522f475Smrg!
91d522f475Smrg! Some users object to this choice because the background (color4) is brighter
92d522f475Smrg! than they are accustomed.  Others point out that the different weights for
93d522f475Smrg! the red/green components make it appear to be not really blue.  Finally, it
94d522f475Smrg! provides poor contrast against color13 and color14.
95d522f475Smrg!
96d522f475Smrg! The current choice uses equal weights for red/green (effectively adding a
97d522f475Smrg! gray to the result).  It is brighter than the original choice, and provides
98d522f475Smrg! more contrast between color12 and color13, color14 than SteelBlue1 did.
99d522f475Smrg! Contrast of color4 against black is slightly improved over the original.

101d522f475Smrg! Some refinement is certainly possible (you are welcome to try) -TD
