Quite the opposite, I like my background color and I don't want to
change it.

Bold colors are brightened to stand out even more. But with the light
background and dark foreground brightening acts contrary making the
letters less emphasized.

Don't jeer, believe you understood that I mean de-facto standards
(xterm, rxvt, gnome terminals based on libvte, etc.). Every terminal
which I tried behaves consistently (doesn't brighten implicit default
foreground with bold face). You may try yourself escape sequences which
I provided.

I'm sorry for disturbing you, I thought my observation would be
useful. I was wrong.
