Public bug reported:
When using init_color(3ncurses) or the underlying <initc> capability,
the red, green and blue color components are specified on a scale of 0
to 1000, inclusive. However, the terminfo data for the "linux" terminal
type has a buggy <initc> which fails for component value 1000 (full
intensity.)
Also, the Linux console shows 16 colors, not the 8 suggested by
<colors>. Since the bold attribute (which triggers the brighter color
set for foreground colors) and the blink attribute (which triggers the
brighter color set for background colors on the framebuffer console with
a 256-position font) are not listed in <ncv>, applications get all sorts
of nasty surprises when they redefine colors and then use them in
combination with these attributes.
