There may be some clients out there that don't support ANSI, but not many.
To be honest, these days when people have megabytes of RAM and gigabytes of disk, I doubt many would use a telnet program that doesn't at least support ANSI colours in some way.

One of the main problems is that there are people who don't want color. And you'd be forcing color on to them.
If this really worries them, I think they could simply define a colour palette of grays etc. and not see the colours. |

True, but what would a typical user do first when finding this on a new MUD they're trying? Setup the palette, or leave the MUD and look for another? |

| | That's assuming that user is so bothered by the colors that it puts them off to the point where they'd want to go to another MUD. Like Nick said, you'd be pretty hard pressed to actually find a client these days that doesn't have ANSI support. |
