Has anyone ever seen a colour palette for the Wyse WY-370 terminal? Its manual only names the 65 colours in its palette, it doesn't provide examples or colour codes at all. Ideally I'm after R/G/B values for each colour, but even a picture showing its colour palette would be more helpful than just the names.

Background: Kermit 95 includes a Wyse WY-370 emulation mode which has never correctly supported its colour palette as Kermit 95 only ever supported displaying 16 colours. I'm currently in the middle of adding support for xterms 88-colour and 256-colour palettes along with its RGB mode, so it would be relatively easy to at the same time add the WY-370s colour palette if I could find out what colours to populate it with. Though not having access to a real WY-370 to compare with would make it tricky to be sure its correct, but whatever the result it would be better than just arbitrarily mapping the 65 colours on to the 16-colour palette like Kermit 95 is currently doing.
 
You could probably make a reasonable start with a simple 6 bit direct color visual. That's approximately what the order of colors suggest anyway.
