It does seem like half this article is correctly answered by "there is a standard (VGA), but some terminals (and in particular, the Solarized colorschemes) trample all over it and break everything."
Like, there are indeed a lot of buggy terminals, but Solarized will ONLY ever make things worse, since all correct programs assume something close to VGA.
