Many text consoles, including the Windows console, have only 8 background
colors as opposed to 16 foreground colors. In that case, trying to set a
"bright" color as the background will fail. For instance, trying to set a red
background will give "dark red" which is usually a kind of dark reddish brown,
more /lie-de-vin/ than true dark red.
To see all the terminal names in your system's terminfo library in
alphabetical order, use
toe|sort|less
at the shell prompt. You may try setting 'term' and/or $TERM to one of them
(with caution) to see if the result is better.
