`emacs -nw` is subject to the TERM settings of the terminal it's running
in. Depending on your distro that may be an 8 or 256 color variant. I'm
suspicious based on your descriptions that your TERM setting may have
changed recently. The 256 color default them of emacs is much more subtle
than the 8 color theme.
You can see what your TERM setting is by `echo $TERM` and you can see how
many colors emacs thinks it can display by `M-x list-colors-display`.
FWIW, some terminals allow you to change the TERM setting to something else
if you'd prefer the 8 color variant.
