Please add a blue color to the palette #6

The current AnsiBlue is actually purple from the palette, which is too different to be considered "blue". Please consider adding a blue-ish color to the standard palette, or at least use a proper blue for blue and bright blue ANSI colors. See https://github.com/dracula/visual-studio-code/issues/166

terminals do have the concept of "blue" [...] Terminals are generic. Any kind of program can run in them. I gave the ls example (which bothers just because I'm used to blue for folders), but other programs may run where "blue" isn't a code for representing some other concept - it really means "a blue color".

NOTE: depending on the blue you choose, you might want to tweak ANSI cyan as well so that the purple/blue/cyan contrast is consistent (not too much or too little) with the contrast in the default colors you usually find in terminals (e.g. Ubuntu bash).

Just an example, #666ce8 is a blue that's still kind of close to purple https://colorpalettes.net/color-palette-1650/ Night blue Night blue in terminal

You can also take bats, halloween or dracula as an inspiration, for example: Bat blue Halloween blue Dracula blue

I'm fine with keeping as-is, but if there's enough feedback I'm not entirely against shimming in a different blue color for ansi.
