I'm using doom Emacs and today for the first time I started a terminal inside Emacs and I saw colors are showing so much better than my default terminal. same background, same font, but the colors on Emacs are so much better.

Terminal colors

I'm using the default terminal of Manjaro with gnome desktop.

My terminal exact version:

GNOME Terminal

3.34.2

A terminal emulator for the GNOME desktop Using VTE version 0.58.3 +BIDI +GNUTLS

Sorry for bad English

Edit:

In my terminal echo $TERM show me this output: xterm-256color but in Emacs it's equal to: eterm-color but eterm-color is not supported in my terminal, can I some how add it?

Emacs is capable of sending escape sequences to change the color palette, and restoring the palette. If it is paying attention to the xterm-256color terminal entry, it can (still) choose different colors within that palette which are not necessarily available to the GNU ls program since that depends on the configuration used for LS_COLORS.

The eterm-color terminal description is supplied by ncurses, and is used for Emacs' ansi-term terminal emulation (not related to gnome-terminal in any way). Manjaro is apparently derived from Arch, which has this terminal description, so your extra question appears to be based on some notion that it ought to be the same as xterm-256color. On the other hand, if someone trimmed the Arch package down for Manjaro, it could be missing (see this answer for discussion).
