The 4014's color capabilities are, well... minimal.  As I remember, a real
live Tek 4014 is a monochrome terminal.  Also, the 4014 is a *vector*
display, not a raster dislay.  What I would suggest is to look for a good
DEC VT241 emulator that supports "sixel" graphics, which lets you display
color bitmaps.
