Not a bad idea. So the color would wrap when reaching the end of the sequence. ("colorsequence" is quite long and not easily abreviated because of conflicts.) A bit of extra work perhaps. How would one guarantee that all terminals have the described colors? And what would one do if that were not the case? Complain when doing a "set term"? It would seem that the non-defined colors gets us back to the same issue of color definitions for 1, 2, 3...
