Then please see the "Colors are not available on a tty or in xterm"
entry in etc/PROBLEMS, it tells how Emacs detects the number of colors
supported by the terminal.

What does the following display?

  M-: (tty-type) RET

Assuming this displays "SOMETHING", Emacs tries to load the file
lisp/term/SOMETHING.el, if such a file is available.
