My wondering is only about the _names_. Why call a dark or dim red "red" or
call a light gray "white"?
Which colors the terminal can produce is one thing; what we call them is another
- no?

If you say so.
But isn't it also confusing that we call gray "white"?

Again, I was just wondering. No complaint from me.
