    It looks like ncurses on MacOS was not compiled with --enable-ext-colors option, as even a C program fails to show high colors:

    #include <ncurses.h>
    
    main()
       {
        initscr();
        if (start_color() == OK)
        {
            init_pair (1, COLOR_YELLOW, COLOR_BLUE);
            attrset (A_BOLD | COLOR_PAIR (1));
            addstr ("yellow text on blue");
            getch ();
        }
        endwin();
       }

    The only fix seems to be that I need to write my own engine, can not rely on the system curses to work.

    Closing this issue, as the fix is to implement our own engine on MacOS
