+On curses user interfaces the Scintilla RGB color values

+colors on-demand or refer to the terminal's default foreground
+and background colors (see \fBEJ\fP command).
+The availability of colors, the size of the terminal's
+palette, the availability of arbitrary RGB colors, the
+number of concurrent colors on screen and the maximum
+number of foreground-background combinations on screen
+is subject to terminal-specific limits.
+\*(ST supports monochrome terminals by mapping non-black
