What

Claude Code draws some text in the terminal as faint, or dimmed. Before, that dimming applied only when the text had no background colour. Now it also applies when the text has a background colour that belongs to a particular set of colours.

Why

This is a small change to how faint text looks on screen. Some text with a coloured background may now look dimmer than it did before.
