Description
Description of the problem or steps to reproduce
Specifications
Commit hash: f594686
OS: Windows 10
Terminal: Many
Hello. So i've tried almost every relevant terminal for Windows 10: regular Console, Microsoft Terminal, MinTTY, ConEmu, Cmder, and the PowerShell terminal which is pretty much the same as CMD.
I've set the environment var MICRO_TRUECOLOR to true every time, but no matter what , i keep getting basic colors.
Mouse interactions, however, work pretty well on most terminals, interestingly enough.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue on Windows 10 using the reported commit f594686, the MICRO_TRUECOLOR=true setting, and the listed terminals. Trace the true-color handling from the terminal detection entry point; done means true colors render consistently rather than only basic colors.
