Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

As detailed in the bug, this slightly reduces the brightness of the default/foreground color of the Campbell color scheme from BrightWhite to White. This then allows the use of ESC sequence codes to add an intensity bit to make White display as BrightWhite. Without this change, using ESC[1m would keep the display color the same.

Validation Steps Performed

This was tested by manipulating the profiles.json to find the correct values to use. The code change was not tested outside this commit because it is a direct replacement of hard coded data, so there are no behavioral changes which should need to be evaluated separately.
