Terminals fortunately make it quite easy to map the basic 8 colors to whatever you like. There are very few people who can’t select 8 mutually distinguishable colours. They could even choose shades of grey!
This is an argument against using 256-color or true color though.
- JdeBP 3y agoNo it isn't. The 256 colour system is based upon a palette, too. Indeed, in almost all terminal emulators it is the same palette as the AIXTerm 16 colour system, which just uses its first 16 entries. (They could be theoretically two different palettes. I know of no terminal emulator author who has implemented it this way. I thought of doing so, but even I didn't.)
