This has been discussed plenty of times in the time that I've been hanging around the forums. The main thing stopping this seems to be the lack of standards. I'm not an expert on irc standards but the first 16 colors are standardized and more have never been added.

It also seems mIRC won't get more colors until there is some standard for more colors. Though I'm sure others could elaborate more on the topic, or you could search the forum for similar topics.
