I don't call it anything. The authors of very widely used terminal emulators
decided to include color capability in their vt100/vt102 emulations, just
that. Programs like ProcommPlus, Telix and Telemate for MS-DOS, and Desterm,
Novaterm and ACEterm for the Commodore 64/128.

And I presume you're using real terminals, not "fake" ones as I am...

Yes, it is. The choice for slang has been made a long time ago and not just
because of colors.

I didn't explicitly check it because, according to your description, your
problem is clearly a ncurses color-related problem (another one...) but when
I tried to enable colors in the form-options menu, or whatever it is called,
I could see all the options in the pop-up list. Anyway, you can always check
it yourself by using a vt100/vt102 terminal emulator. You'll get a nice
monochrome screen...
