I can produce on terminal with zsh SHELL a list of 256 colors with the command :
for code in {000..255}
do
print -P -- "$code: %F{$code}Color%f"
done
and currently, I am using dircolors with zsh :
NORMAL 01;37 # global default, although everything should be something.
FILE 01;37 # normal file
DIR 32 # directory
LINK 01;36 # symbolic link
FIFO 40;33 # pipe
SOCK 01;35 # socket
BLK 40;33;01 # block device driver
CHR 40;33;01 # character device driver
# This is for files with execute permission:
EXEC 00;36
# List any file extensions like '.gz' or '.tar' that you would like ls
# to colorize below. Put the extension, a space, and the color init string.
# (and any comments you want to add after a '#')
*~ 05;31 # stuff we hate to find laying around (flashing red)
.mtxt 05;31 # crap

If this possible, how I could use in ~/.dircolors some colors came from the 256 values generated initially in my post ( loop with print -P -- "$code: %F{$code}Color%f" ) ?
Or are there others alternatives to have more colors with ~/.dircolors ?
