ANSI colors muted

[arvinmi]

When setting colors exactly to the same hex values for iTerm the native Apple terminal and Ghostty. Ghostty will show colors washed out, even with the same hex values. There is no way to match the rendering colors in Ghosstty to iTerm. Turning on bold-is-bright = true will not fix the issue as well.

These screenshots show the visual change in color saturation between iTerm and Ghostty.

believe you are looking for display-p3 option

#2125 will also have a slight effect, but not as much as the above mention

[arvinmi]

Display p3 does not make much of a difference. I have attached a comparison below with display p3 (on my mac display it still looks off), and Ghostty looks darker, even though both colors have the same hex values on Ghostty and iTerm. I think it's #2125 that's causing the difference in the colors represented.

[rhodes-b]

like I stated colors wont match exactly because of #2125 can you try using a build from tip? I think there have been some changes between 1.0.1 and main for rendering on macos

I ran a build from tip and looks to have solved the problem. I'll wait until the next release, being the problem has been fixed.
