That's why I didn't like the patch.  All of wterm, aterm and rxvt (which seem
to share some common ancestry) have colors 0 through 15.  The reported 8
probably refers to Ansi, where the remaining colors are supposed to be bright
variants of the Ansi colors.  But in fact they can be freely set to whatever
you please.

Maybe min-color has an off-by-one bug?  If you can send a patch that starts at
15 and also handles errors in an equally bright and bold style, I'll have a
look at it.

Not my favorite reason to install a patch — I prefer to live in a free world.
