From an xterm-256color do:
(i=0; while test $i -lt 16; do tput sgr0; echo -n "Color ${i}: "; tput setaf $i; echo "#####"; i=$(($i + 1));done;) You will see a good approximation of the wikipedia chart. Now do the same from a linux console with terminal set to linux-16color. It's completely different. I know ANSI didn't specify the hue but it's obviously not meant to look like that. The problems start at color 7 which should be white, but is black and continue from there.
