The Python program only displays certain colors on the terminal because the terminal supports only a limited number of colors. Generally, the terminal can display only 16 colors at a time. These colors are predefined and are represented using numeric codes. The color codes can be used in a Python program to set the color of the text or the background of the terminal. The color codes are limited to the colors that the terminal supports, and therefore, the Python program can display only those colors. Some modern terminals may support more than 16 colors, but the number of colors supported is still limited.
