color in emacs... when ssh-ing to my FreeBSD box


I'm trying to be able to get color with my SSH sessions (I'm using PuTTY) when using Emacs... but I've been unable to.

Someone told me to change the Terminal-type string to "xterm-color" and I've tried that... but I still can't get any color.

Any and all help will be appreciated.

It may be one of the default color constants. o $r - A color value, between 0 and 1000, for the red component. o $g - A color value, between 0 and 1000, for the green component. o $b - A color value, between 0 and 1000, for the blue component. RETURN VALUES
Returns -1 if the function was successful, and 0 if ncurses or terminal color capabilities have not been initialized or the terminal does not have color changing capabilities. SEE ALSO
