Sorry, I don't know anything about your "gnome-terminal" terminal.
$ infocmp xterm-color
# Reconstructed via infocmp from file:
/usr/share/lib/terminfo/x/xterm-color
xtermc|xterm-color|xterm terminal emulator (color) @(#)xterm.ti 1.3,

That one does have colour, but gnome-terminal doesn't use it. We don't want a
different terminfo definition for each terminal emulator. The TERM variable is
passed to the remote system any time you make a remote connection. It has to
be a known value on any system. `xterm' seems to be the most universal one.
