Cannot configure git to use brightred, neither on Windows nor on Ubuntu.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create ~/.gitconfig with the two lines (or add to them to this file, if it exists):
[color.status]
untracked = brightred
2. run `git status` from a directory with untracked files
Expected: output in brightred
Actual on Linux:
error: invalid color value: brightred fatal: bad config variable 'color.status.untracked' in file '/home/<username>/.gitconfig' at line 2
Actual on windows:
brightred=normal=white.

Bright colors are supported since v2.26.0. What Git version did you
try?

It sounds like two different versions. :) If Git isn't complaining about
the color name on Windows, then it's probably sending out the correct
ANSI codes. But whether those do anything you can see depends on your
terminal emulator. I don't know what options there are on Windows.
For the Windows console, there's an extra stdio layer that handles these
ANSI codes. It looks like compat/mingw.c's set_attr() would need to be
updated, but from reading it, I'm not sure it would even support these
extra colors. Probably "bold red" is the best you could do.
