By that I mean 256 colors in an ansi-term buffer with emacs running under X, not 256 colors for emacs -nw when running in an ansi terminal (which seems to be the more popular question). Looking at the definition of eterm-color it only advertises 8 colors, and the code for term.el seems consistent with that, having only an 8 entry color vector that can be remapped. In my application I need as close to a real terminal as possible so eshell isn't an alternative. Any suggestions? Thanks, Chris.
