The manpage of journalctl doesn't explain the colors yellow and blue and the (semi-)bold emphasis of various log entries. E.g., https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/journalctl.html contains no occurrences of “bold”, “blue”, and “yellow” highlighting/emphasis as of now. Only a generic “lines of level NOTICE and higher are highlighted” is stated. As a result, the I am confused when interpreting the output of journalctl -b.

Please explain bold, blue, and yellow in the man pages.
