Historically, there existed terminals that supported a maximum of 8 colors, 16 colors, 88 colors (basic 16 + 4=C3=974=C3=974 color cube + 8 gra= ys?), then 256 colors (basic 16 + 6=C3=976=C3=976 cube + 24 grays), and finally 2= 4-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.
