Originally created by @CamRatliff on GitHub (Mar 23, 2021).

Windows Terminal version (or Windows build number)

1.6.105671.0

Other Software

PS 7.1.3

Steps to reproduce

Write-Host "Hello world!" -ForegroundColor DarkGray
Write-Host "Hello world!" -ForegroundColor Gray
Write-Host "Hello world!" -ForegroundColor White

Expected Behavior

Write-Host -ForegroundColor Gray "Hello world!" returns a string formatting using the Gray (White or BrightBlack?) color as defined in the console.

Actual Behavior

Strings formatted with -ForegroundColor Gray are whatever the console's Foreground color is defined as, in the color scheme JSON of the WT theme.

When using Write-Host with -ForegroundColor Gray, Windows Terminal uses the Foreground key from the Color Theme's JSON to determine the color, instead of the White key.

Here's a screenshot with the foreground key turned off, and the Powershell console's foreground set to white.

Finally, here's a screenshot with the foreground key set to Red, and the Powershell console's foreground set to white.
