The supported colors depend on the used terminal, i.e. what the TERM variable contains. That one is passed through from the SSH client, as that one needs to interpret color codes and be able to display related colors.

PuTTY uses xterm by default, which supports 8 ANSI colors only. It can be adjusted in its settings, but I never tried whether PuTTY does support a wide range, when using e.g. xterm-256color.

SSH Works fine, just using ubuntu's built-in ssh command. It's locally where it gives the error (like on my monitor)

This is what it shows:

Sorry for the late reply. So the terminal on the Ubuntu client seems to be limited then. Which one is it?

echo $TERM
