I've just noticed that in xterm (TERM=xterm-8colors)

hi Default ctermfg=blue
produces blue text with bold font.
Actually it's normal because the documenation says for xterm-8colors
NR-8 COLOR NAME
4    DarkBlue
4*   Blue, LightBlue
And to produce light blue, xterm-8color is obliged to use bold.

So if I need darkblue, I write
ctermfg=darkblue

At the beginning I did not understand that and tried
:hi something ctermfg=blue cterm=none
It also works in general.

But I've just noticed that

:hi Normal ctermfg=blue cterm=none
is still bold.
while
:hi Comment ctermfg=blue cterm=none
produces comments in normal font.

Does someone know the reason for this difference between Default and
Comment ? (just for curiosity)

Rq : This also gives the answer to the question I asked last week about
ctermfg enabling bold I think.
