prompt colors bug? also possible feature add

[Jim <linux.tech.guy@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

While working on colors and prompts I noticed that gray and grey

do not work in a prompt. But in the colors function it states:

# This is inaccurate, but the prompt theme system needs it.

for k in grey gray; do
  color[$k]=${color[black]}
  color[fg-$k]=${color[$k]}
  color[bg-$k]=${color[bg-black]}
done

Also wondering, since bright colors were added to colors, were they also

going to be included in prompts? That said, my $0.02 - I'm happy that all

16 colors are there in numbers 0 thru 15 and works as expected.

Is there any reason gray and grey couldn't be set correctly by using \e[38;5;8m

and \e[48;5;8m?  Just a thought. Even the linux console supports all 16 colors.

it just doesn't support bold.

Attached is a function I wrote "test_prompt_output.txt", and two png files
