Historically terminal colors were generated by direct drive of 3 color bits plus an intensity bit, so each RGB component is either 00, 7F, or FF in modern terms. Modern terminal software generally picks a palette close to this, so it's what we assume below. Some large fraction of terminals default to a black on white scheme rather than the traditional black on white.

name	hex	foreground on black	foreground on white	white on background	black on background
red	#7f0000	text	text	text	text
green	#007f00	text	text	text	text
blue	#00007f	text	text	text	text
