SUMMARY
Using Konsole from the local KDE session (plasma-wayland) the colors are right. If you connect via XRDP the Konsole colors are seen differently. Red is seen as dark blue and blue is seen as orange.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create this script on the user's home named testcolors.sh and give it x permission:
#!/bin/bash
echo -e "\033[31mThis is red text\033[0m" # Should be red
echo -e "\033[34mThis is blue text\033[0m" # Should be blue

2. From local session execute testcolors.sh. Logout the session.

3. From XRDP session execute the same script.

OBSERVED RESULT
In step 2 (local session) the colors are seen as expected.
In step 3 (xrdp session) the red is presented as dark blue and the blue is presented as orange.
The clients used to connect through XRDP were:
- mstsc.exe (windows10)
- rdesktop (ubuntu 24)

EXPECTED RESULT
From both sessions the colors should be seen equal.

Differences between Konsole and xterm

From a Konsole terminal, we open xterm (version 394) and execute the same testcolors.sh script. In both cases XRDP is carrying the color information through the network, but xterm shows the colors as expected.

are the konsole profiles the same on local and xrdp?
konsole has a feature that allows you to change profile when you start a
new session.
