Physical colour numbers are used as the short physical colour in the VDU 19 command, and used in the COLOUR and GCOL commands on platforms without a palette. The colour number is a bitmap of the colour to select. When implementing a VDU driver to interface with other platforms this mapping must be adhered to.

Colour bitmap

   7   6   5   4   3   2   1   0
 +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
 | L | D | E | F | I | B | G | R |
 +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |
   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   +---Red
   |   |   |   |   |   |   +-------Green
   |   |   |   |   |   +-----------Blue

   |   |   |   +-------------------Flash
   |   |   +-----------------------Extension
   |   +---------------------------Border
   +-------------------------------0=Foreground, 1=Background
 
 This gives:
  0 0 e f i b g r - &00+n - foreground colour
  0 1 e f i b g r - &40+n - extension
  1 0 e f i b g r - &80+n - background colour
  1 1 e f i b g r - &C0+n - border colour
 
 The BBC implements:
  l x x x f b g r - colour
          +-------- flash
 
 The ZX Spectrum implements:
  l b e f i b g r - colour
    | | | +-------- bright
    | | +---------- flash
    | +------------ change only flash/bright
    +-------------- border
 
 The Commodore implements:
  l b x f i b g r - colour
    |     +-------- bright
    +-------------- border
 
 DOS/Windows implements:
  l x x f i b g r - colour
        | +-------- bright
        +---------- flash
 
 ANSI terminal implements:
  l b e f i b g r - colour
    | | | +-------- bright
    | | +---------- flash
    | +------------ underline
    +-------------- inverse

The BBC uses b3=flash, whereas all platforms other than the BBC uses b4=flash. For visual compatibility, programs could use 0-7 for non-flashing colours and 24-31 for flashing colours. On the BBC these will be flashing colours, on other platforms these will be bright flashing colours where supported.
