This is the first program I've ever had issues with, so it could very well be a color choice that is rarely use. However, a few of the other stock OS X terminal themes appear to have similar issues.\r\n\r\n![example](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/156855/6999369/1e744f44-dbd6-11e4-9bc8-09db1435c11d.jpg)\r\n\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/sintaxi/surge/issues/comments/135918258","html_url":"https://github.com/sintaxi/surge/issues/80#issuecomment-135918258","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/sintaxi/surge/issues/80","id":135918258,"user":{"login":"kennethormandy","id":1581276,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1581276?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/kennethormandy","html_url":"https://github.com/kennethormandy","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kennethormandy/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kennethormandy/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kennethormandy/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kennethormandy/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kennethormandy/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kennethormandy/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kennethormandy/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kennethormandy/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kennethormandy/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-08-29T00:02:36Z","updated_at":"2015-08-29T00:02:36Z","body":"So I have looked into this a little more. We aren’t actually using Chalk, so it’s definitely not a Chalk-specific issue. I’m inclined to side with the people in the Solarized issue and say the problem is that grey has been mismatched to being the same colour as the background.\r\n\r\nIt’s unfortunate this has been made a default in Ubuntu. That said, colour in the terminal should be treated as progressive enhancement: everyone seeing the text is more important than a majority seeing it in two colours. I’ve added [a PR that should help with this](https://github.com/sintaxi/surge/pull/131).\r\n\r\n@robmuh Would you mind helping me test this? I don’t have a Ubuntu VM setup right now. Could you run this:\r\n\r\n```\r\ngit clone https://github.com/sintaxi/surge\r\ncd surge\r\ngit fetch origin\r\ngit checkout -b ko-chalk origin/ko-chalk\r\n\r\nnpm i\r\n./lib/cli.js --help\r\n```\r\n\r\n…that should set up my branch and display the updated help text. Would you mind posting a screenshot of that for me please? Thanks!"}}
