+# Use ANSI colors for the default theme.
+# This is `DefaultStyle` from Pygments, modified to use ANSI colors instead of
+# RGB. This adapts better to light/dark mode, because the built-in themes from
+# a terminal are typically designed for whatever background is used. All the
+# other Pygments themes use RGB, which is fine, because the user consciously
+# chooses what works for them.
+
+# To convert, do:
+# from prompt_toolkit.output import ColorDepth
+# from prompt_toolkit.output.vt100 import _EscapeCodeCache, _get_closest_ansi_color
+# print(_get_closest_ansi_color(
+#    *_EscapeCodeCache(ColorDepth.DEPTH_8_BIT)._color_name_to_rgb('bbbbbb'))
