So because your terminal doesn't bold, no other 8-color only terminals
are capable of bold?

The default linux console colors defined in the kernel are easily 
distinguishable, perhaps your distro has modified them in 
/sys/module/vt/parameters.

cat /sys/module/vt/parameters/default_[bgr]*

echo -n "0,170,0,170,0,170,0,170,85,255,85,255,85,255,85,255" > 
/sys/module/vt/parameters/default_red
echo -n "0,0,170,85,0,0,170,170,85,85,255,255,85,85,255,255" > 
/sys/module/vt/parameters/default_grn
echo -n "0,0,0,0,170,170,170,170,85,85,85,85,255,255,255,255" > 
/sys/module/vt/parameters/default_blu

Then `tput reset` each console. Add the three echos to a boot script to survive 
a reboot.
