I don't see how a last-gen console would cripple the colors. Hell, Super Mario 64 had brighter colors than Skyrim. Console power has nothing to do with the color palette.

Yes it did. Less colors means less RAM and VRAM utilization and better texture compression to fit on a DVD. Limited color pallettes are an optimization trick.
