It's a matter of TERM. If you set TERM=xterm, you'll see that all
colors with the codes above 7 look like the default.

I agree with Bart that the default zsh config should stick to 8 colors
(red, green, yellow, etc.). People do use terminals with 8 colors: the
non-graphical terminal in Linux, the embedded terminal in Emacs, a
bunch of terminals on Windows, etc.
