Turns out that osso-xterm which I based upon uses something a lot different from apparently any other terminal -- they all use identical shades, much brighter than what I copied: Old: 00 2a 55 7f aa d4 New: 00 5f 87 af d7 ff This did hardly matter as we immediately shoehorn the colors into only 16 values, but recently 24-bit codes turned from an oddity to something widespread, thus it's better to handle 256 vs 24-bit consistently.
