My konsole (2.7.4) really does do 256 cubed colours, 16Mi, or appears to be trying to as far as my eyes can see.
Picking a colour randomly from rgb.txt, dark salmon, in bash:
$ echo $'\e[38;2;233;150;122m hello \e[0m'

A developer looking at code all day long, every day, can tweak the colours to get ones he or she likes.

Compatibility with guis, maybe. Or maybe it was just there.
