Granted, i'm coming into this thread late, but unless i missed
something, the above statement is wrong on many levels.  For starters,
Linux (the kernel) doesn't support any color, as it doesn't have a clue
about colors.  That's what you have an X server for, or at the very
least a curses package.

That said, XFree86 has supported 24 bit color for at least 4 years
(that's as far back as I've used it).

Now, i'm sure that there are prolly some videocards and/or drivers that
may not support 24bit color, however that has nothing to do with Linux either.
