| Terminal | `ccc` | Recommended environment | Notes |
| Terminal | `ccc` | `bce` | Recommended environment | Notes |
| -------- | ----- | ------ | ----- |
| Linux console | ✔ | `TERM=linux` `COLORTERM=24bit` | 8 (512 glyph fonts) or 16 (256 glyph fonts) colors max, but RGB values are downsampled to a 256-index palette. See below. |
| FBterm | | `TERM=fbterm` | 256 colors, no RGB color. |
| kmscon | | `TERM=xterm-256color` | No RGB color AFAICT, nor any distinct terminfo entry. |
| XTerm | | `TERM=xterm-256color` `COLORTERM=24bit` | See note about DirectColor. Must configure with `--enable-direct-color`. `TERM=xterm-direct` seems to have the undesirable effect of mapping low RGB values to a palette; I don't yet understand this well. The problem is not seen with the specified configuration. Sixel support when built with `--enable-sixel-graphics` and run in vt340 mode. |
| XFCE4 Terminal | ✔ | `TERM=xfce` `COLORTERM=24bit` | No `xfce-direct` variant exists. |
| Gnome Terminal | 🗴 | `TERM=gnome` `COLORTERM=24bit` | `ccc` support *is* available when run with `vte-256color`. |
| Konsole | 🗴 | `TERM=konsole-direct` | |
| Alacritty | ✔ | `TERM=alacritty` `COLORTERM=24bit` | |
| Kitty | ✔ |`TERM=kitty-direct` | |
| Sakura | ✔ |`TERM=vte-256color` `COLORTERM=24bit` | No terminfo entry? |
| mlterm | 🗴 |`TERM=mlterm-256color` | Do not set `COLORTERM`. `mlterm-direct` gives strange results. |
| st | ✔ |`TERM=st-256color` `COLORTERM=24bit` | |
| wterm | | | |
| GNU Screen | 🗴 |`TERM=screen.OLDTERM` | Must be compiled with `--enable-256color`. `TERM` should typically be `screen.` suffixed by the appropriate `TERM` value for the true connected terminal, e.g. `screen.vte-256color`. See below. |

Note that `xfce4-terminal`, `gnome-terminal`, etc. are essentially skinning
atop the common VTE ("Virtual TErminal") library.
