I'm curious what non-st terminal emulator you use. On Urxvt, my all colors beyond #16 look the same as in Xterm without any changes to my Xresources file or the need to recompile Urxvt. Likewise for MinTTY and its parent PuTTY. You can even see a comparison of Urxvt and Xterm's 256 color rendering at https://i.stack.imgur.com/Nlu9V.jpg, courtesy of https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/45171 . I haven't used gnome-terminal in a while, but I believe the colors were the same there as well.
I looked at the linked image and also downloaded the colortest script to see for myself how st is different. Maybe this is one of those things like hi-fidelity stereo equipment where some people are acutely aware of differences the hoi polloi can't perceive, but whatever differences *I* can see don't seem worth fussing about. I don't see any differences in hue, which is what I expected after reading your comments about changing the numbers. I do see a difference in brightness, as advertised -- but I kinda prefer the brighter colors.
