All right. I did some testing. What you are probably looking for is "bold". You can experiment directly with the terminfo commans using the command "tput".
So, to set black background, white text: tput setb 0 tput setf 7 Then, you can enable highlight of the foreground colour: tput bold The colour of the text should be whiter.
