It depends on your terminal. Some will show "white" as about a 50%
gray and "bright white" as white, and similarly "blue" as almost navy
and "bright blue" as royal blue. Others will show "white" as white,
and "bright white" as bold white, and "blue" as royal blue and
"bright blue" as bold royal blue.
I go out of my way to use the latter, myself. :-)
