I know about xterm. About konsole: I checked true color support by using
screenshots and it works as expected. I doubt there may be colors
000000, 000001 and 000002 in palette (except for the first one, of
course). Konsole version is 4.10.4.
I suppose you mean KDE version? Clicking "Help → About Konsole" gives
me: Konsole 2.8.5, Using KDE Development Platform 4.10.5 "release 4".
There might be a slightly newer version available, but I'd bet not by
*two* major releases.

Taking color from 8-bit palette is not something I may call "true color
support".
