Color support depends on the terminal. Background and foreground
settings are often different, especially with older terminals and a low
number of colors supported. Sometimes the "bold" flag changes the color
between a darker and lighter color. You can find some information at
":help highlight-ctermfg".

Engineers are always delighted to share wisdom, even in areas in which they
have no experience whatsoever. Their logic provides them with inherent
insight into any field of expertise. This can be a problem when dealing with
the illogical people who believe that knowledge can only be derived through
experience.
