I don't think it was ever there — the documented way to do this is %F{default}
or simply %f. %F{reset} only worked because unrecognised colour names would
just fall back to the default sequence (which doesn't seem to be mentioned
explicitly anywhere?).

5.7 did change that, though, and i'm not sure it was intended.

This seems to fix it
