| If someone writes down a sequence of 16, 32, or ... colors which will be the

I understand.

| Currently "many" terminals have the same color seq as the postscript 
| terminal, for at least the first "few" color items.

I understand. Certainly png terminal also has the same color 
sequence from 1 to 5 as ps terminal.

| It would be nice to have this feature consistent for all terminals.

The period of the color sequence is 9 for ps terminal, 8 for x11,
and 15 for win, these are short. But for png, it is too long 
(256?), so I think the looping option is only for png terminal at
first.
