I made some mistake. The problem "tput color -> 256; Emacs -> 256 but in
fact 8" only happens when I set TERM=xterm-256color, which is not the
case since I am actually using fbterm.
When I set TERM=fbterm. "tput color" also reports 256; while in Emacs
list-color-display just shows 8 colors. The issue remains.
BTW, the other color names are (when TERM=xterm-256color):
brightblack brightblack #7f7f7f
brightred brightred #ff0000
brightgreen brightgreen #00ff00
brightyellow brightyellow #ffff00
brightblue brightblue #5c5cff
brightmagenta brightmagenta #ff00ff
brightcyan brightcyan #00ffff
brightwhite brightwhite #ffffff
color-16 color-16 #000000
color-17 color-17 #00005f
...
color-255 color-255 #eeeeee

How can I tell which lisp/term/*.el is loaded?
