Problem
When opening Emacs / Doom Emacs in terminal mode (emacsclient -t / ec) inside Foot, the entire editor background turns blue andcolors are distorted.
This happens because config/foot/foot.ini overrides term=xterm-256color. Unlike Neovim (which checks $COLORTERM), GNU Emacs strictly checks the terminfo database for $TERM. Seeing only 256 colors, it downgrades and rounds dark RGB backgrounds (like #0b0d11) to ANSI Color 17 (Navy Blue).
Fix
Set term=foot-direct in config/foot/foot.ini.
This enables native 24-bit Truecolor in Foot's terminfo, fixing the blue background in Emacs and ensuring proper color fidelity across all terminfo-aware CLI/TUI applications (like btop, htop, delta, etc.) with zero color degradation.
