Description
It appears src either uses no colours (NO_COLOR=1), or 256 colours. This means that if the colours chosen for 256-colour mode are hard to read, I have no choice but to turn colour off entirely and lose some valuable readability-enhancing information in the output.
I would really appreciate an option to stick to 16 colours (4-bit colour), so that src only uses colours defined by my terminal theme.

Research direction
Start by tracing how src selects terminal colours and where the existing NO_COLOR and 256-colour modes are handled. Determine the option needed for 16-colour output, then verify that it uses terminal-theme colours while preserving the existing no-colour and 256-colour behaviours.
