Not necessarily. Xterm is usually restricted to the eight ANSI colours. 
And the color-there.el package is meant for GNU Emacs running freely as 
an X11 client.

This month there was a thread about more than eight colours in an 
xterm. It needs a hacked termcap/terminfo entry and, if memory serves 
me well, a CVS version of GNU Emacs. Both, fetching GNU Emacs from CVS, 
configuring and making it plus more than eight ANSI colours can be 
found in the archives, January 2005.
