Enable 256 colors in Konsole (Kubuntu)

By Andrew Adams

I would like to enable 256 colors in Konsole but I didn't get it working the right way. I have set in my enviroment:

TERM=xterm-256color

$ tput colors
256

But the colortest of base16 always prints colors 17-21 in blue.

What am I missing to get 256 colors working?
