The same problem seems has led the EDK folks to a similar solution.
See
MdeModulePkg/Universal/Console/TerminalDxe/TerminalConOut.c
Everything starts with this array:
{ ESC, '[', '0', 'm', ESC, '[', '4', '0', 'm', ESC, '[', '4', '0', 'm', 0 };
The first '0' is replaced by either 0 or 1 depending on brightness.
mSetAttributeString[BRIGHT_CONTROL_OFFSET] =
(CHAR16) ('0' + BrightControl);
The first '4', '0' is replaced by the foreground color.
The second '4', '0' is replaced by the background color.
ECMA 48 says:
0 - default rendition, cancels the effect of any preceding SGR
So you can use this instead of 22.
