I don't know: some months ago I saw some reference to possibly slang doing
256 colors, but on investigation found that it wasn't doing that -
including seeing some comment written by John Davis (though it's possible
someone has a patch).  ncurses doesn't (a terminfo application could of
course, but that's different).  The limitation is on where the bits are
stored.

In that picture, I can't see more than about 12 different colors.
