Fun fact: this is why terminal.d's api is `color(fg, bg)` instead 
of foregroundColor and backgroundColor independently.

But, I actually hate it in terminals when individual lines have 
different background colors, it doesn't really help legibility 
since the surrounding clashing color continues to bleed the 
contrast. That's why terminal.d now has Color.DEFAULT values and 
I use that for the bg basically every time.

(Instead, as I've said a few times, I changed my terminal 
*emulator*, yes the display side of it, to adjust the palette 
based on what background is there. If you tell it to output color 
0 on 0, it will actually do gray on black, despite 0 on 7 being 
black on white. I figured the exact meaning of the palette 
entries were less important than consistent legibility, and I'm 
very happy with that. Now *any* program using *any* settings is 
usable for me, including in sunlight, without excessive eye 
strain. Big win.)
