The way the colors are presented on your terminal has to do with the way
the terminal interprets the color palette. In gnome-terminal, right
click anywhere in the terminal -> Profiles -> Profile Preferences, click
the colors tab, and change your color scheme. By default, Ubuntu is
using the Tango theme, which brightens colors a bit, making them more
readable with variable background colors.
Of course, the _number_ of colors has everything to do with your $TERM
setting. Mine is currently set to 'xterm-256color' from the
'ncurses-term' package.
