Not sure if I'm barking up the wrong tree ...  Did some further testing
with an actual
prompt adam2 (alt_02 is some prep work for adding vcs_info -- tested on
just adam2
with the same results). When I tried to get "grey" or "gray" the color
defaulted back to
the terminal default(in my case green). Yet using numbers 7 & 8 output as
would be
expected(check user@host).  I guess the next questions is, does it only
work with
fade?

You used the example of prompt fade, but I tried bigfade with args as
described in
the function.  Having a hard time seeing grey, but maybe that has something
to do with
my virtual terminal or brightness setting. I included the results of my
testing in two
.png files.

Is there any consideration of adding bright-<color> to prompts? Just
curious.
As you can see, bright-color also defaults to terminal default(green).
Using numbers works for me.

If I misunderstood, sorry for the noise.

Regards,

Jim
