I have Specified different styling for different display environments.
But do not know whether it is appropriate or sufficient.

What min-colors should I include?  Is it (min-colors 8), (min-colors 16),
and (min-colors 88)?  Would one go beyond 88, and is 8 too uncommon these
days when using emacs?
