PromptConfiguration - RGB in default or not?

[kindermannhubert]

Should we use RGB AnsiColors for default values in PromptConfiguration or not?

If not then we could add optional bool allowRgbDefaults in its ctor. Then there would be two default value sets - one nonRGB (ugly) and one nicer. But then there is question if allowRgbDefaults should be optional and if so what default value it should have :)

I'd prefer using a standard terminal AnsiColor for defaults, rather than RGB defaults. I think it's surprising for users if we choose an arbitrary RGB value that happens to look good on our system -- better to use the ANSI color slots as they were intended to be used.

I just looked at a few other projects to get another opinion:

• terminal-kit (popular project from JS) defaults to ANSI colors (e.g. in this example).
• Spectre.Console (probably the most popular console output library for .NET?) uses ANSI colors. e.g. in their example code.

As long as the user can easily provide RGB colors in the configuration object, I think it's fine to default to ANSI colors.
