My point was, it's only "the simple way" when you've already got both colors calculated because the function draws both. But if drawing backgrounds is moved into a separate function, as I was planning to do, that function would be simpler if it didn't have to think about the effects that bold/italic/underline have on the foreground color. My question was whether this behavior is like this because other terminals do the same thing, or _only_ because it's simpler.
