Unreadable colors/colors with a=rwx permission directory and ls in color mode - colors do NOT match spec

[clach04]

Seeing:

Testcase:

rmdir dracula_putty_issue_3
mkdir dracula_putty_issue_3
ls -altrhd dracula_putty_issue_3
chmod a+rwx dracula_putty_issue_3
ls -altrhd dracula_putty_issue_3

Fine with rwx files, its directories. Results from a quick spin of this in (old) Putty 0.71.

Basically unusable with most linux distros unless disable colors, i.e.:

ls -altrhd --color=never dracula_putty_issue_3

EDIT as of 2024-09-15 current theme is NOT compliant with spec https://spec.draculatheme.com/#sec-ANSI

iterm2 putty works fine. Recommend using that instead.

Turns out both the current theme and the linked iterm2 theme are out of compliance with spec https://spec.draculatheme.com/#sec-ANSI, but one is readable the other not as reported.

Current theme:

https://github.com/mbadolato/iTerm2-Color-Schemes/blob/master/putty/Dracula.reg

Probably better to simply reimplement from spec.

[clach04]

Here is my attempt at following the spec, by creating from scratch.

PR to follow.

[clach04]

#6 posted with new reg file.

As an additional sanity check, also compared with https://github.com/dracula/pywal/commits/master/dracula.json
