But this is a contradiction in terms.

If VT100 does not support color, which others have stated is a fact, then
a "vt100 emulator" cannot support color, because it is no longer a vt100
emulator.  It could be called a "vt100-ish emulator that also supports color",
but by definition a vt100 emulator cannot support color if it is true that
actual vt100 terminals do not display color.
