>How-To-Repeat:
on amd64 run screen, then generate any color control sequences, eg syntax highlighting in your favorite editor, colorls, etc.

I note that when I open a screen session where color works (i386),
ssh to the amd64 machine and run screen within an i386 screen window,
the colors come over fine.

>Fix:
Has been suggested there is a termcap issue for amd64.
