No, it does not. Like timg here, it only works on terminals that have 256x256x256 RGB colour, for which it hardwires the control sequences; and this is explained up-front in its doco. An "ANSI" terminal need only support ECMA-48, which has 8 colours; as can be seen from the terminfo entry for the "ansi" terminal type. "true colour" is ISO/IEC 8613-6. * http://unix.stackexchange.com/a/289871/5132 http://unix.stackexchange.com/a/289871/5132
