It seems that by default Termite sets TERM=xterm-termite, which doesn't
support true color. However, since Termite uses libvte, it supports true
color with semicolon separators, just like Gnome Terminal. If you have the
latest Terminfo installed, you can launch Emacs with: TERM=xterm-direct2
emacs -nw. At least that worked for me under Termite. If this doesn't work,
there are more detailed instructions in Emacs FAQ node Common requests
> Colors on a TTY.
