I get different results for all three faint/normal/bright, in both
Gnome terminal and xterm.  I'm reluctant to change the default
appearance of "normal" everywhere in order to accommodate terminals
that (seemlngly) don't fully support "bright".

Just for interest, try this:
% colors
% print -r $'\e['$color[faint]\;${color[bright-red]}m88888${reset_color}\
$'\e['${color[red]}m88888${reset_color}\
$'\e['${color[bright-red]}m88888${reset_color}

(or with $'\n' before each backslash).  Do you really see no change
from red to bright-red?

I'd be more inclined to create a $fg[faint-*] etc. to match the
addition of $fg[bright-*] although with the bright variants there's no
alternate way to obtain them.
