The xterm which Apple ship with OS X appears to support 256 colours - I just tested it with the test listed here. To run it, start Apple's X11 server (located in /Applications/Utilities/X11).

Recent SVN builds of iTerm will do the job, just tested with xorg's script

Thanks. Can you please tell me how can I make it to use Dark background as my default profile? – n179911 Jul 02 '09 at 00:29
right click into the terminal window, select "Info...", change your colours and click "Update Default" – Carmine Paolino Jul 02 '09 at 01:10
