Mark, Yes, there are a total of 16 colors -- 8 normal ones, and 8 bright analogs. Marcus selected all 16 for us. The first 8 normal ones are new and distinct to Ubuntu. The latter 8 bright ones he and Ivanka felt that they couldn't improve upon the 8 pure ones, so we've left it at that.
Furthermore, Linux's vt driver supports all 16 (normal and bright) for foreground colors, but only the 8 normal ones for background colors. See: * http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prompt-HOWTO/x329.html The 256color.pl script that I used to create the screenshots wasn't the best way to show these. I found a better script in that x329.html document.
