It's easy to miss the "or higher".

In a plain GNOME Terminal, i.e. outside screen:
xterm-256color

It would seem so.

How do you infer that?

That's precisely the fix I discovered yesterday.

According to:
https://github.com/termstandard/colors
command:
$ printf "\x1b[38;2;255;100;0mTRUECOLOR\x1b[0m\n"
shows your terminal is capable of truecolor if the word TRUECOLOR is
printed in brown. According to the result of this test, GNOME
Terminal (3.38.3) _is_ truecolor enabled.
I can observe the same broken colours in xterm (under the same
conditions) shipped by Debian bullseye.
I'm sure it has to do with screen and will investigate whther or not
my version of screen supports truecolor.
