Are you using all of the ANSI color combinations? There doesn't seem to be quite enough in most of the images returned.

I think I need to keep tweaking the colors which map to them. Which image was not so good?

In the example image you provided even, there's a few areas that could do with colors.

In all you should be able to use the three semi-transparent blocks (25%, 50%, 75%) in combination the 16 foreground and 16 background colors. There's a lot more shades than you'd think — http://i.imgur.com/OCrg5FZ.png

I never got around to dithering or mapping half blocks when I attempted something similar a few month back, but with enough colors in the cable things started to look (almost) smooth — http://i.imgur.com/18T6QoY.png

Thanks I'll give it a go tomorrow.

If you have a chance, try it again I added a lot of inbetween colors!

Now that's looking better.
