ANSI index swap for `base05` and `base06` in `base24` breaks `base16` compatibility

[tummetott]

Hello,

is there a particular reason why ANSI indexes for colors base05 and base06 are swapped in the base24 specification compared to the base16 specification?

Base24

Base16

From my perspective this change is confusing and seems to break compatibility between the two specs. For example when styling a terminal via ANSI indices I would normally assume that the foreground color (base05) maps to index 7. With a base24 scheme this assumption no longer holds.

As a result base16 and base24 schemes cannot be used interchangeably with the same ANSI based styling logic which feels unintuitive. Could you clarify the reasoning behind this design choice?

When looking though template files in tinted-terminal, i found base24 templates that:

ANSI 7: base05
ANSI 21: base06
See: kitty

ANSI 7: base06
ANSI 21: base05
See: wezterm

ANSI 7: base06
ANSI 21: base06
See: alacritty

This is very confusing. I'm wondering if this is just an error in the base24 spec and you did not mean to change the indices. Please enlighten me. I'm willing to do a PR to fix all the terminal templates

I've just fixed this issue, thanks for pointing it out: #42

Ok perfect thanks. i'll work on a RP for the remaining terminal templates now. thanks
