Maybe you could use a wrapper that tests the underlying terminal's color
capability & sets the $TERM environment variable?
ncl=$(tput colors)
case "$ncl" in
'16')
TERM=screen /usr/local/bin/screen
;;
'256')
TERM=screen-256color /usr/local/bin/screen
;;
esac
Totally untested, only to clarify the above.
