UTF-8 would give extra characters, not colours. Colours are done via
ANSI codes, to get more colours have a look at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code#8-bit

Most BBS terminals won't support more than 16 colours, but linux
terminals like konsole and gnome terminal do, so you could technically
use more colours with CP437 with your current BBS (or with UTF-8), just
it wouldn't look very good in most BBS terminals.
