You are right, I didn't read it carefully enough and understood it wrong.

If this were possible it would be another bug, because it does clearly not happen at least for my console.
Or is there some limitation that the same color can only be used once and you have to use "similar" colors? Then people with poor monitors would have an advantage :)
As said before I don't think this is high priority for me personally, because I prefer to use
computers in English (as long as I can decide myself) and work in X11 (as long as I don't have to do trouble shooting). But if Ubuntu intends to be a localized system, it might of course be nice to eventually get the console working flawlessly also for languages using non-ASCII letters after so many years.
