Issue: Invalid color brightnormal in nanorc.nanorc

Hello,

I noticed that the following line appears in nanorc.nanorc:

icolor brightnormal " brightnormal"

However, according to the official nano documentation, brightnormal is not a valid color specification. Only the following color names are supported:
black, red, green, yellow, blue, magenta, cyan, white, normal and their bright variants (e.g. brightred, brightblue, etc.), but not brightnormal.

Including this line causes nano to throw the following error on startup:

Error in /Users/valorisa/.nano/nanorc.nanorc on line 26: Color 'normal' takes no prefix

This prevents proper loading of the syntax highlighting for nanorc files.

Suggested fix:
Please remove or comment out the line

# icolor brightnormal " brightnormal"

from nanorc.nanorc to ensure compatibility with all recent versions of nano.

Thank you for maintaining this great project!
