DF uses the 16 standard ANSI color sequences: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code#3-bit_and_4-bit

The colors corresponding to these sequences are not possible for DF (or any terminal application) to change. Instead, you can typically configure them in your terminal settings.

ANSI escape sequences also allow for 24-bit colors to be used through the codes listed here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code#24-bit.
