Historically, there existed terminals that supported a maximum of 8
colors, 16 colors, 88 colors (basic 16 + 4×4×4 color cube + 8 grays?),
then 256 colors (basic 16 + 6×6×6 cube + 24 grays), and finally 24-bit
color.
Unless you intend to make a color theme for wide distribution, I
suggest configuring your own terminal emulators for 24-bit color and
always assuming full color range.
