(CC'd OpenBSD maintainer in case it's a packaging issue somehow)

Emacs with direct colour works only if $TERM is set to xterm-direct.
Even if $TERM refers to a terminfo entry that is identical (confirmed
by infocmp):

        turtle-direct|Test Emacs,use=xterm-direct,

Within xterm, if TERM is set to turtle-direct and emacs launched with
-nw, list-colors-display only lists 8 colours.

I am on OpenBSD -current as of a day or so ago.

I haven't tested any other values of $TERM and don't know of any
with direct colour support anyway.
