> even plain terminator terminal (without terminal multiplexer)
> displayed nice bright white color for bold attribute.
This was an intentional change in VTE (libvte-2.91-0; the terminal emulation widget behind Terminator and many others) version 0.51.92, as part of an ongoing attempt to separate the color itself from other attributes (such as boldness) as much as possible. See the commit at

and the two addressed bugs mentioned in the commit log:

VTE has for as long as I can recall supported an API to set bold color. If you wish to have a brighter white than the default for bold text, you should select white as the bold color. The problem is that...
> As a separate issue, terminator could start formally supporting bold-color
... as opposed to let's say GNOME Terminal, Terminator doesn't have such a config option, which you would need now. So it's not a separate issue.
> (and underline-color for good measure)
And then a corresponding "allow underline", and then the same for italic, for double underline, for curly underline, for strikethrough, and for all combinations of these... nope, VTE doesn't support these, and we're not planning to start moving in this direction. (One possibility pending for VTE, however, is to have an API where the terminal emulator can register a callback to arbitrarily mangle the colors and attributes of cells before displaying them, this would cover all these cases.)
> in terminal run some terminal multiplexer with bold-color feature configured,
I'm not sure if the above explanation properly covers your issue with multiplexer involved, and you no longer seeing your preferred bright yellow letters (or do I understand it correctly that it also stopped working?). Could you please elaborate: How do you exactly configure screen or tmux to reproduce this?
Quick summary so far: Terminator should add a "bold color" option.
