Text colour command COLOUR n VDU 17,n COLOUR l,p VDU 19,l,p,0,0,0 COLOUR r,g,b Select logical colour mapped nearest to (r,g,b) COLOUR l,r,g,b VDU 19,l,16,r,g,b or VDU 19,l,24,r,g,b if l<0 COLOUR l,r,g,b,a Map logical colour to (r,g,b) and alpha channel COLOUR ON n VDU 17,128+n COLOUR ON r,g,b Set text background to colour mapped nearest to (r,g,b) COLOUR r,g,b ON n Set foreground nearest to (r,g,b) and background to n COLOUR r,g,b, ON x,y,z Set foreground nearest to (r,g,b) and background nearest to (x,y,z) Text colour function =COLOUR(r,g,b) Return logical colour mapped nearest to (r,g,b) Implementation The COLOUR r,g,b commands are implemented in an implementation-specific manner. They could be implemented by reading the mapped colour number then sending a VDU 17 sequence: COLOUR r,g,b: COLOUR COLOUR(r,g,b) so results in VDU 17,n COLOUR ON r,g,b: COLOUR 128+COLOUR(r,g,b) so results in VDU 17,n COLOUR r,g,b ON x,y,z COLOUR COLOUR(r,g,b):COLOUR 128+COLOUR (x,y,z) so results in VDU 17,n,17,m
