This is true for Win/Mac type platforms, where the ssh client generates
the text window and VT100 emulation as well. But on Unix, which I
believe the original poster is using, the xterm generates the windows,
colors, etc, and ssh is merely a communication conduit, with no need to
understand any sort of ANSI.
I believe the other posters in this thread are correct; the termcap/
terminfo database on the remote computer does not contain color
information. There is a FAQ on this topic at
