Does 'new client' mean 'pretty much every client ever made' in this context? I don't recall seeing a client that didn't send 'ANSI' as one of the terminal types if you ask for them, so you can pretty much guarantee an accurate answer that way, if you're willing to delay the greeting screen a second or two while you query the client. I'm not sure if there is a separate telnet option you can ask for that specifically deals with colour support.
