https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code

ANSI color codes 90-97 and 100-107 are brighter versions of the 30-37 and 40-47 colors. To view them, run `colortest-16`. In that colortest, they are named with a leading "+". Maybe git config could support those colors, too, with a leading plus in the name? They are nice for having a different shade of a color in a diff.

Here's a patch with tests.  I don't know how to submit it.  Thoughts?
