How can I use a color from 256-color template for screen's status bar items (hardstatus setting in .screenrc)? The screen manual (STRING ESCAPES section) only lists 10 colors to use for the status line.

Screen by default only supports 8 bit colors, there's a batch that extends the color support to 256. But you should try tmux it supports 256 colors and, in my opinion, a superior alternative. – Ammar Abdulaziz Jan 31 at 19:55
