Might be easier to see with :gs/red/yellow
In fact with yellow I can see a difference between "faint yellow" and
"faint bright-yellow" whereas that's not obvious to me with red.
print -r $'\e['$color[faint]\;${color[yellow]}m#####${reset_color}.\
$'\e['$color[faint]\;${color[bright-yellow]}m#####${reset_color}.\
$'\e['${color[yellow]}m#####${reset_color}.\
$'\e['${color[bright-yellow]}m#####${reset_color}
Hopefully I didn't miss something with your answers, or misinterpreted it.
I get the same results with your code. But the patch has to do with ${color[bold]}.
Without faint the result of bold is the same for <color> and <bright-color>. With
faint the result is different intensity.
w/o faint both <color> and <bright-color> produces one intensity
with faint both <color> and <bright-color> produces a different intensity
The following should demonstrate what I'm trying to say. I added ${color[reverse]}
as I believe it makes it a bit easier to see the difference.
print -r \
$'\e['${color[faint]}\;${color[bright-yellow]}\;${color[reverse]}m${(r.10.. .)}${reset_color}\
$'\e['${color[faint]}\;${color[yellow]}\;${color[reverse]}m${(r.10.. .)}${reset_color}\
$'\e['${color[yellow]}\;${color[reverse]}m${(r.10.. .)}${reset_color}\
$'\e['${color[bright-yellow]}\;${color[reverse]}m${(r.10.. .)}${reset_color}
print -r \
$'\e['${color[bold]}\;${color[faint]}\;${color[bright-yellow]}\;${color[reverse]}m${(r.10.. .)}${reset_color}\
$'\e['${color[bold]}\;${color[faint]}\;${color[yellow]}\;${color[reverse]}m${(r.10.. .)}${reset_color}\
$'\e['${color[bold]}\;${color[yellow]}\;${color[reverse]}m${(r.10.. .)}${reset_color}\
$'\e['${color[bold]}\;${color[bright-yellow]}\;${color[reverse]}m${(r.10.. .)}${reset_color}
I do not have gnome-terminal installed on my system but am using xfce4-terminal as my
primary terminal. TERM is set to vte-256color except where I am using tmux then
TERM is set to tmux-256color
BTW, xfce yellows are very different from one another <color> is a brown,
where <bright-color> is yellow.
Since gnome and xfce are both based on vte, assuming TERM doesn't cause issues
I would hope both would produce similar results. But assuming gets me in hot water
way too often.
Also tested on:
xterm - TERM=xterm-2556color
uxterm - TERM=xterm-256color
tested on kitty, but kitty seems to not deal with faint very well
only installed kitty for testing
