I think there's some misunderstanding here.

I'm not saying that increasing the colour range is a bad thing by itself, but I am saying that it's not worthy of the work it will require. And, yes, while technically you can still simulate technical limits, a lot of modern graphic styles are limited by the medium. From retroesque platformers to Instagram filters, they all imitate stuff like 8-bit graphics and colourchrome images.

I do believe that implementing more than 256 will be a pain in the ears to achieve, especially considering how textured backgrounds and water works.
