If the terminal supports 16 colors, it means Emacs is not being told
about that. Are you sure your TERM variable points to the correct
terminfo entry?
Anyway, this is a separate problem.
It is set to wsvt25 -- which is the default.

Plain files could just be left at the default face, no?
Yes.
That would leave us with directory, symlink, executable, and
backup/product/clutter, 4 colors. Maybe also add archive, which
yields 5 colors. Makes sense?
Yes (though I don't understand why archive needs to be a different
face -- but that is a different problem too). I think it would be
useful to differentate at least "special"?
