Description tpikonen 2013-05-14 20:41:22 UTC 
The KDE terminal emulator Konsole has escape codes for setting RGB colors to letters and background:

 ESC[ ... 38;2;<r>;<g>;<b> ... m   Select RGB foreground color	
 ESC[ ... 48;2;<r>;<g>;<b> ... m   Select RGB background color

See e.g.
https://github.com/robertknight/konsole/blob/master/user-doc/README.moreColors

Could these be implemented also in VTE?

You can change the gf/bg colour in the palette to a given RGB value, but you can't apply a random RGB value to just some cells. Since vte internally stores just the palette index and has no room for a per-cell RGB value, adding this to vte would require rather lots of work and have the undesirable consequence to greatly increase the memory used per cell. 

So I don't think vte will add support for this.
