This results in a completely different look with TERM=xterm (16 fg, 8 bg colors) or with TERM=xterm-256color (256 fg+bg colors) settings. With 16-color settings the color reverts to its non-bright counterpart, whereas with 256-color settings the actual bright version is used. I really doubt that in any of these cases the goal was to be such different in the two cases, or that actually both cases were tested. Probably someone just a picked a color that looked good with their settings, and most likely it doesn't look that good with the other setup. I believe bright colors shouldn't be used as background colors for this reason. Except, of course, in skins that were explicitly designed for the 256-color world.
