In my opinion it depends on the settings of the 16 base colors of the console.

@237dmitry Thanks, I think you are right it somehow chooses the bright color in the colorscheme. It must map the color.
I found out I would have to use the vintage colour scheme for it to appear correctly

Yep, this is due to the Terminal and Conhost using different color schemes by default. When you're using ConsoleColor.Blue, you're merely telling the console/terminal "please draw this text in whatever color you think blue is"
