When using a lot of default terminal apps for SSH/Telnet, the colors are usually using xterm 16-color defaults as opposed to DOS/ANSI 16-colors. It would be cool to translate those to 16-bit color sequences for actual DOS colors, possibly likewise for other terminal palettes?The foreground escape sequence is \033[38;2;<r>;<g>;<b>mThe background escape sequence is \033[48;2;<r>;<g>;<b>mCan provide more details if there's desire to support this.

Sure, how would the server (BBS) detect support in the terminal for the RGB control sequence?

The correct sequences are actually CSI 38:2:<r>:<g>:<b> m (colons, not semi-colons). Using semi-colons means potentially toggling unexpected bits in the graphic rendition (ie: dim).

@rswindell Not sure, other than asking... also not sure how utf8 is detected for that matter. Was just thinking it would be nice for color matching/translation since many terminals support the feature, and the default colors are off compared to dos color defaults.. for that matter, not sure what the colors are/were for comodore etc.@Deuce Haven't seen an example using colons, everything I've read is only using semi-colons, but yeah, might mess with things, I don't know what terminals and compatability options there are to check for.

UTF-8 is auto-detected based on cursor position during automatic terminal detection upon logon. The feature you're describing does not sound like it could be auto-detected.When you say "the default colors are off" - I don't know what you're referring to. The default colors of what? In the terminals I use, the colors seem right.
