If you want to play with that, [1] may help, which sorts colors in hsv
space, and you can select a few colors to see how they look, either
manually or by calculation. Yeah we probably get maybe 32 (or 48 if
you stretch it a bit) distinct colors. Not sure if it's any better
with true color terminals, probably not.
