I am using the custom color 16 as default option for ansi colors, but I've run into a problem. On a mud that I play it will just use the bold(or bright/hi) tag instead of using bold white or similar, and when I use the above setting that text comes out the same as non-bold text. Is there a way to configure a bold version of the custom color somehow, or set something else up to let me know which text is supposed to be bold? I've switched back to using standard ANSI for now, but I have hope that there's a solution that lets me switch back to the custom color option.
question about using the custom color 16 option.

This may help, maybe:
That lets you remap colours independently of the ANSI codes. That is, an incoming colour (which may annoy you) can be unconditionally changed to another one. You would need a small script to be run on world open to do as many remaps as you want.
MapColour
The documentation for the MapColour script function is available online. It is also in the MUSHclient help file.

It's kind of difficult to expain what I'm talking about I guess. I took a few logs and I'll
post an example of what I'm talking about. The first one is a raw and the others are while
logging colour.
The raw data I'm getting:
What that translates to normally:

I was trying to see if there was a way to get the bold text (names in this case) to display
differently while using the colour 16 as default option. I tried out your suggestion of
mapping the colour to something else, but that still only works while I'm not using the
colour 16 as default option. So that leaves me back where I started.

As far as I can see the concept of using colour 16 only applies to the base colour (that is, there is no "bold colour 16").
In that case I suggest you don't use colour 16 as a default, but remap both #C0C0C0 (normal) and #FFFFFF (bold) to the colours you really want.
