  The article isn't worded very well, but looking at the pictures, I think it simply means wherever the console *used* blue before, that blue color will now be brighter. AFAIK, the default *background* has always been black for good old cmd.exe.

    It is exactly this.
    
    In the beginning was the CGA/EGA 16-color text mode palette.
    
    They've adjusted some of those colors a little bit.
