Exactly the opposite here, the current colors match very closely what I get
(gnome-terminal, White on black, Linux console color set),
your colors are completely different.

E.g. in changes.html, the Asan spans with boldlime are using
\033[1m\033[32m
in libsanitizer, and the note color in gcc by default is
\033[1m\033[36m

I've tried various color settings of gnome-terminal (both white on black and
black on white plus the different color sets) and all of them except 
for Solarized (which is shades of grey) look much brighter than your colors.
