I do not have strong preference either way.

The CURRENT is highlighted with '*' so I think we certainly can
lose green and even go vanilla.  I only tried to avoid bold
because no built-in default coloring currently use it, and in
the past I've worked with terminals that do not have enough
contrast between normal and bold and for some people that might
become an issue.
