Forcing emacs to not use 256 colors |

Good day:
I'm a long time emacs user and I'm used to the default 16 color syntax
highlighting. I recently upgraded my system which brought in 256 color
support, and I find the new syntax highlighting colors distasteful. I
also dislike how the colors may be completely different depending on if
I'm using a 16 color terminal or a 256 color terminal. I'd like to
force emacs to only use 16 color or less palettes.
I took a look at M-x customize-themes but that doesn't look like what I
want. That appears to be changing the overall theme, including
foreground and background colors. I want to force the default, non
-256color behavior everywhere, not change the overall coloring.
I tried searching but the results are getting flooded out with posts on
how to enable 256 colors. Is there a way to disable these 256color
specific syntax highlighting pallettes? Or otherwise limit the color
mapping to the various $TERM values?
