That's most likely a terminal setup thing. A combination of the TERM you
use on the client side, and the TERM settings of the ssh session.
When I use ssh to connect from one of the virtual consoles with TERM=cons25
to a Linux box, and I change my TERM to 'ansi' after I connect, colours
display correctly.
If I fire up screen(1) on my workstation, and set TERM=vt220 before I ssh,
then no colours are shown, and I have a monochrome terminal.
