I suggested to Dan that, since 88 colors seems to be enough to have good approximations to all colors used by standard faces, to set the breaking point at 88. If 64 is good enough for that, we should probably change that to 64. However, this sounds like a tip of an iceberg: are you saying that list-display-colors will display a list whose length has no simple relation to what display-color-cells returns? That sounds bad, doesn't it?
