Citing from above link: "These notes are for ncurses 6.1, released January 27, 2018. (...) The motivation for making this extension came from noticing that termcap applications could (though not realistically) use larger numbers than would fit in 16-bits, and the fact that the number of color pairs for a 256-color xterm could not be expressed in terminfo (i.e., 32767 versus 65536). Also, a few terminals support direct-colors, which could use the extension. (...) New "RGB" extension capability for direct-color support is used to improve performance of color_content. (...) For 16-, 88- and 256-color terminal descriptions, picsmap can load a palette file which tells it which color palette entries to use. For direct-colors, the terminal descriptions use the RGB extension capability. (...) xterm+noalt, xterm+titlestack, xterm+alt1049, xterm+alt+title building blocks and xterm+direct, xterm+indirect, xterm-direct. from xterm patch #331. several other “-direct” descriptions to address the differences of other terminal emulators versus xterm-direct. (...) used RGB capability in new *-direct entries to denote direct-color feature." From above you can see that information that terminal supports direct-color is supposed to be exposed with RGB extension, however I don't see it here when looking at terminfo files with infocmp. $ infocmp xterm-direct # Reconstructed via infocmp from file: /usr/share/terminfo/x/xterm-direct xterm-direct|xterm with direct-color indexing, am, bce, km, mc5i, mir, msgr, npc, xenl, colors#0x1000000, cols#80, it#8, lines#24, pairs#0x10000, acsc=``aaffggiijjkkllmmnnooppqqrrssttuuvvwwxxyyzz{{||}}~~, bel=^G, blink=\E[5m, bold=\E[1m, cbt=\E[Z, civis=\E[?25l, clear=\E[H\E[2J, cnorm=\E[?12l\E[?25h, cr=\r, csr=\E[%i%p1%d;%p2%dr, cub=\E[%p1%dD, cub1=^H, cud=\E[%p1%dB, cud1=\n, cuf=\E[%p1%dC, cuf1=\E[C, cup=\E[%i%p1%d;%p2%dH, cuu=\E[%p1%dA, cuu1=\E[A, cvvis=\E[?12;25h, dch=\E[%p1%dP, dch1=\E[P, dim=\E[2m, dl=\E[%p1%dM, dl1=\E[M, ech=\E[%p1%dX, ed=\E[J, el=\E[K, el1=\E[1K, flash=\E[?5h$<100/>\E[?5l, home=\E[H, hpa=\E[%i%p1%dG, ht=^I, hts=\EH, ich=\E[%p1%d@, il=\E[%p1%dL, il1=\E[L, ind=\n, indn=\E[%p1%dS, invis=\E[8m, is2=\E[!p\E[?3;4l\E[4l\E>, kDC=\E[3;2~, kEND=\E[1;2F, kHOM=\E[1;2H, kIC=\E[2;2~, kLFT=\E[1;2D, kNXT=\E[6;2~, kPRV=\E[5;2~, kRIT=\E[1;2C, kb2=\EOE, kbs=^H, kcbt=\E[Z, kcub1=\EOD, kcud1=\EOB, kcuf1=\EOC, kcuu1=\EOA, kdch1=\E[3~, kend=\EOF, kent=\EOM, kf1=\EOP, kf10=\E[21~, kf11=\E[23~, kf12=\E[24~, kf13=\E[1;2P, kf14=\E[1;2Q, kf15=\E[1;2R, kf16=\E[1;2S, kf17=\E[15;2~, kf18=\E[17;2~, kf19=\E[18;2~, kf2=\EOQ, kf20=\E[19;2~, kf21=\E[20;2~, kf22=\E[21;2~, kf23=\E[23;2~, kf24=\E[24;2~, kf25=\E[1;5P, kf26=\E[1;5Q, kf27=\E[1;5R, kf28=\E[1;5S, kf29=\E[15;5~, kf3=\EOR, kf30=\E[17;5~, kf31=\E[18;5~, kf32=\E[19;5~, kf33=\E[20;5~, kf34=\E[21;5~, kf35=\E[23;5~, kf36=\E[24;5~, kf37=\E[1;6P, kf38=\E[1;6Q, kf39=\E[1;6R, kf4=\EOS, kf40=\E[1;6S, kf41=\E[15;6~, kf42=\E[17;6~, kf43=\E[18;6~, kf44=\E[19;6~, kf45=\E[20;6~, kf46=\E[21;6~, kf47=\E[23;6~, kf48=\E[24;6~, kf49=\E[1;3P, kf5=\E[15~, kf50=\E[1;3Q, kf51=\E[1;3R, kf52=\E[1;3S, kf53=\E[15;3~, kf54=\E[17;3~, kf55=\E[18;3~, kf56=\E[19;3~, kf57=\E[20;3~, kf58=\E[21;3~, kf59=\E[23;3~, kf6=\E[17~, kf60=\E[24;3~, kf61=\E[1;4P, kf62=\E[1;4Q, kf63=\E[1;4R, kf7=\E[18~, kf8=\E[19~, kf9=\E[20~, khome=\EOH, kich1=\E[2~, kind=\E[1;2B, kmous=\E[<, knp=\E[6~, kpp=\E[5~, kri=\E[1;2A, mc0=\E[i, mc4=\E[4i, mc5=\E[5i, meml=\El, memu=\Em, op=\E[39;49m, rc=\E8, rep=%p1%c\E[%p2%{1}%-%db, rev=\E[7m, ri=\EM, rin=\E[%p1%dT, ritm=\E[23m, rmacs=\E(B, rmam=\E[?7l, rmcup=\E[?1049l\E[23;0;0t, rmir=\E[4l, rmkx=\E[?1l\E>, rmm=\E[?1034l, rmso=\E[27m, rmul=\E[24m, rs1=\Ec, rs2=\E[!p\E[?3;4l\E[4l\E>, sc=\E7, setab=\E[%?%p1%{8}%<%t4%p1%d%e48\:2\:\:%p1%{65536}%/%d\:%p1%{256}%/%{255}%&%d\:%p1%{255}%&%d%;m, setaf=\E[%?%p1%{8}%<%t3%p1%d%e38\:2\:\:%p1%{65536}%/%d\:%p1%{256}%/%{255}%&%d\:%p1%{255}%&%d%;m, sgr=%?%p9%t\E(0%e\E(B%;\E[0%?%p6%t;1%;%?%p5%t;2%;%?%p2%t;4%;%?%p1%p3%|%t;7%;%?%p4%t;5%;%?%p7%t;8%;m, sgr0=\E(B\E[m, sitm=\E[3m, smacs=\E(0, smam=\E[?7h, smcup=\E[?1049h\E[22;0;0t, smir=\E[4h, smkx=\E[?1h\E=, smm=\E[?1034h, smso=\E[7m, smul=\E[4m, tbc=\E[3g, u6=\E[%i%d;%dR, u7=\E[6n, u8=\E[?%[;0123456789]c, u9=\E[c, vpa=\E[%i%p1%dd, Amadeusz
