Imagining. Emacs can't display more than the 8 ANSI colours. There are 
these ANSI Esc sequences to change these colours and to intensify/high 
light them. If your terminal supports more than then the 8 ANSI colours 
you could teach it to Emacs -- maybe there is already an augmented 
Elisp file.

Remember that a terminal is no graphics application! It's a whatever 
hardware terminal emulation. GNU Emacs too sticks to this definition.
