Hmmm...I'm not really sure now either.  For FC5, I was given the spec of 
256 colors.  But yes, I see the source link and it says 14.  Though I'm 
a bit wary because that has a submission date of Nov. 7, 2003...Perhaps 
the link was only to provide directions on customizing the GRUB and the 
actual detail of how many colors has changed? 

I've tried to ask a couple of people online but the ones that work with 
the GRUB are not around.  It's a long weekend for us working in the US 
so they might be on vacation...but I'll continue to look and ask when I 
see someone that knows.
