PS I almost complained about your default of "magenta" as the same as
the meta color before I remembered that magenta meta is a personal
setting I use. Personally I find the bold meta color to be distractingly
ugly. Blaming it, the default seems to come from Linus, who even in his
commit message (50f575f) seems to indicate that it is somewhat arbitrary
(mostly just dropping the purple from the bold purple).

I took magenta, because it is not used as any other default color
value. I think choosing a color other than cyan would bring the
attention to this new feature.
