Calling set_color normal will set the terminal color to whatever is the default color of the terminal.

Some terminals use the --bold escape sequence to switch to a brighter color set. On such terminals, set_color white will result in a grey font color, while set_color --bold white will result in a white font color.

Not all terminal emulators support all these features. This is not a bug in set_color but a missing feature in the terminal emulator.
