[Solved ]Odd colours in TTY screenshot

Just curious if anyone knows why this is happening...

I set my dark colourscheme in .bashrc like so:

if [ "$TERM" = "linux" ]; then
    echo -en "\e]P01a1a1a" #black
    echo -en "\e]P83d3d3d" #darkgrey
    echo -en "\e]P18c4665" #darkred
    echo -en "\e]P9bf4d80" #red
    echo -en "\e]P2287373" #darkgreen
    echo -en "\e]PA53a6a6" #green
    echo -en "\e]P37c7c99" #brown
    echo -en "\e]PB9e9ecb" #yellow
    echo -en "\e]P4395573" #darkblue
    echo -en "\e]PC477ab3" #blue
    echo -en "\e]P55e468c" #darkmagenta
    echo -en "\e]PD7e62b3" #magenta
    echo -en "\e]P631658c" #darkcyan
    echo -en "\e]PE6096bf" #cyan
    echo -en "\e]P7899ca1" #lightgrey
    echo -en "\e]PFc0c0c0" #white
    clear # bring us back to default input colours
fi

and in TTY1-6 it looks fine - like this:

but when I take a screenshot, using fbshot, it comes out like this:

It's not a big deal; I am just curious as to why it looks fine on screen, but fbshot captures quite different values.

I'm googled out - and I've got nothing...

Surely someone here must have some idea?
