Mixed colours for terrain types

[Critic]

When you use command 'colour' you can differentiate colours in room's name.
But it seems some terrain type has the same colour code.
Fore example, mountains and hills, swamps and forest.
It's awfull for some skills and spells.
So it shiuld be fixed, either in assignment colour code in terrain type, or in ANSI output buffer in comm.c
Basically, there are 8 main colours, but it could be easy increased

Ideally you need detection/negotiation of terminal color capabilities. Which, over telnet, is a whole fat can of very fat worms.

Another approach would be to just, like, type it out: Before Briarwood (forest)
Or put it into exits string, or as the first row of room-affects.

You can then highlight it seven different ways in your client, or whatever.

FTR, swamps and forests are two different colors — dark green for swamps, bright green for forests ("basic" term has 16 colors, 8 main+8 bright).
If they are lookin' the same for you, I have bad news about your client's 256 color support!

I'm not sure about swamps, but bright green is a forest in JMC client, dark green is a hill.
Your method is better, but it's more complex...

In good-enough client:
inside/city — bright white
swamp/field — green
forest — bright green
mountain/hills — yellow
desert — bright yellow
water/underwater — bright blue

Printing text is much, much easier than getting fancy color working correctly everywhere, providing fallback for non-supporting clients and all this sh*t.

[Critic]

Aye, but there is a great difference between mountains and hills, fore example.
That's why it should be separated into different colours/markers somehow
