I'm not sure I understand what this means.  What is "agetty"?  And
what do you call "emacs terminal"?

And what happens if you try to customize these faces to define the
colors they should have?  Or different colors?  Does that work, or do
these faces fail to display any colors, no matter what?

Btw, how many colors does this terminal support?  You can find the
answer like this:

  M-: (display-color-cells) RET

And finally, does "M-x list-colors-display RET" show some colors
incorrectly?
