Ahh, ok - 256 color might be simplier, and I guess its a nice to have. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code

ESC[38;5;(n)m Select foreground color
ESC[48;5;(n)m Select background color

You can point to my BBS ansitex.bbs.dege.au, port 516.

I dont have a lot in there yet (this is viewdata, and I'm still developing it) - but page 999a (*999#) is a test page, and page 999b (# again) will show you the characters.

I have a web terminal interface at https://alterant.bbs.dege.au/2018/12/31/oztex/ that you can use to see what it should look like.

AnsiTEX is available ansitex.bbs.dege.au port 23, which is the same usability, but using ANSI instead of Viewdata. (Again dont have much there, as it is still a work in progress when I moments of enthusiasm.)
