In IDL, try this immediately after startup:

device,pseudo=8
window,colors=256
print,!d.n_colors

Note that the 'device' command as shown and the 'colors' keyword to 'window'
only have an effect before any windows are opened. Once set, these
options remina set for the rest of the IDL session.

Cheers,
Liam.
