We don't support such methods with any other color modes, they all rely on terminfo and/or special-purpose terminal commands Emacs issues at startup time. I agree that being able to enable/disable color modes from .emacs would be a nice feature, if it is possible, but the new 24-bit color mode is not the odd one out here. > I'm definitely getting only 256 colours in a recent Debian testing XTerm. I don't think that xterm supports this mode.
