Replace non-standard colors in reporter #1200

[octref]

Color 90-99 are not standard and their implementations vary among
terminals.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code#CSI_codes
This has caused many Solarized theme users unable to see some output.

still looks ugly to me :( I like my gray, standard or not

If you don't like the gray color of your terminal, you can change it in the palette of your terminal(usually under "profile setting", and gray is the first color).
I know you are picky about colors, but so do others. Currently Mocha doesn't use the gray color other people have chosen in their terminal palette, and it doesn't offer a custom config so users can change the color codes.
This makes it impossible for others to explicitly control the gray color in their mocha output, because most terminal wouldn't have a config on the non-standard 90 color. On the contrast, color 30 is well-supported and can be easily configured in most terminals.

which would be gray if it's not the "bright black"? black is black, I'd like to keep black black personally but there's definitely room for a gray, that's why I ab(use) bright black so much

OK. I'll just write a custom reporter that doesn't base on base.js, and add it to the wiki for Solarized users.
You can close this issue and #1200

@octref good solution!

Sorry for posting on this closed issue.
Hmm I don't have like to modify/patch mocha after every installation.

If it isn't possible to avoid the non-standard colors, could we do this change in the base.js as all reporters inherit the colors from it - and they still display the invisible grey. Would you accept a pull request for this?
