I'm not an iTerm developer.  I don't know what APIs may be exposed, but it
seems unlikely that you would be able to adjust the values of the
individual ANSI colors using escape sequences.  It appears AppleScript may
be able to adjust some of colors (background, foreground, bold, etc.), but
I don't see a way to manipulate the ANSI colors.

If you switch your terminal emulation to xterm-256color, you have access
to the expanded 256 color palette:

mojito:~ insyte$ export TERM=xterm-256color
mojito:~ insyte$ tput colors
256
