Subject: please add purple and orange to color list
This is apparently a long-standing wish, as it is even mentioned in the Perl Cookbook: "The colors are black, red, green, yellow, blue, magenta, on_block, on_red, on_green, on_yellow, on_blue, on_magenta, on_cyan, and on_white. (Apparently orange and purple don't matter.)".

That's because there are no orange and purple colors defined in the ANSI standard and therefore no standard escape codes for them. The module makes available everything that's available in ECMA-048. -- Russ Allbery (rra@stanford.edu) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>

Rejecting this bug per the previous comment. Purple and orange aren't supported colors for the ANSI protocol that Term::ANSIColor implements.
