This is a cool deep dive into terminal standards and their footguns but... not sure why?

Unless you're showing pictures in your terminal, why would you want true color and the overhead that introduces? If you're just doing a status bar on a black background, your eye won't really see the difference between FF0000 and FF1515 (which I picked because the next 16 bit color is FF3333 which you can already barely tell the difference from).

I'm just saying I'm not sure I would want that much color choice, it would just give me anxiety about picking the right color!
