<h1 dir="auto">Steps to reproduce</h1>
<ul dir="auto">
<li>start Windows Terminal</li>
<li>open a tab with WSL Ubuntu 18.04 (maybe also with other distributions)</li>
<li>choose a light theme (like One Half Light) in the <code class="notranslate">profiles.json</code> file</li>
<li>view a man page (e.g. <code class="notranslate">man grep</code>)</li>
<li>play with values for <code class="notranslate">brightWhite</code> in the choosen color schema</li>
</ul>
<h1 dir="auto">Expected behavior</h1>
<p dir="auto">General text should be colored in generic colors such as <code class="notranslate">foreground</code> or explicit colors like <code class="notranslate">brightWhite</code> should change their color.</p>
<h1 dir="auto">Actual behavior</h1>
<p dir="auto">The WSL man page seems to use <code class="notranslate">brightWhite</code> for highlighted text in man pages. <code class="notranslate">brightWhite</code> remains white in the light themes. The remaining text has the color <code class="notranslate">foreground</code>.</p>
<p dir="auto">grep manpage with default color schema <code class="notranslate">One Half Light</code>:</p>

<p dir="auto">To get a somewhat similar color you need to set blue (DarkBlue) to something like <code class="notranslate">"blue" : "#0B5669"</code><br>
