Unfortunately I'm not aware of any commonly agreed method to detect 24-bit color support. See https://gist.github.com/XVilka/8346728 and https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-ncurses/2013-10/msg00007.html for some details.

Based on previous work by Rüdiger Sonderfeld, Christian Hopps and
Charles Strahan.

Currently it's not possible to detect whether terminal supports 24-bit
colors.

 Why did we decide to stop using terminfo as intended? Why did we stop supporting terminal capability inspection via control codes? We solved this problem in the god damn 1980s. Why are we back to specifying terminal characteristics manually?
