     The setcolor function sets the current color index to <color>. The
     <color> parameter is masked but always within range. The arc,
     ellipse, floodfill, lineto, outgtext, pie, polygon, rectangle, and
     setpixel functions use the current color.
 
     The setcolor function accepts an INTEGER*2 value as an argument. It
     is a color index.
 
     The default color index is the highest numbered color in the
     current palette.
 
     Return Value
 
     This function returns the previous color. If the function fails
     (e.g., if used in text mode), it returns -1.
