I've been trying to get image previews working in something this week, inside ZelliJ and wasn't able to find anything until a post in a Linux community about Foot.

Foot terminal emulator + ZelliJ + Yazi gives me what I wanted.

This repo has the information on the color supported by various terminal emulators.

Check the info to see whether your favorite terminal emulator supports truecolor or not.

P.S. My favorite alacritty supports true color
