I get:

Color	Shows As      Color	    Shows As      Color	      Shows As
----------------      -------------------      -------------------
black   silver/grey?  red      red             blue        teal
yellow  yellow        gray     silver/grey?    silver      silver/grey?
white   bold white    maroon   maroon          purple      purple
fuschia fuschia       olive    brown/olive?    navy        teal
teal    teal          aqua     aqua            lime        lime
green   green

which is an improvement on what you see, but not perfect.

I don't know, why don't you try removing it.

You could try uninstalling and reinstalling terminfo if you want.

If links doesn't behave nicely you could try using w3m which also works on
cygwin. (if a text browser that renders tables is what you wanted....I'm not
really bothered about the tables so i tend to use lynx)
