     Color values for the Color switch are two hexadecimal digits that
     specify the color of the item. The first digit specifies the
     background color and the second digit specifies the foreground
     color, according to the following table:
 
     Color     Digit         Color            Digit
 
     Black     0             Dark Gray        8
     Blue      1             Bright Blue      9
     Green     2             Bright Green     A
     Cyan      3             Bright Cyan      B
     Red       4             Bright Red       C
     Magenta   5             Bright Magenta   D
     Brown     6             Yellow           E
     White     7             Bright White     F
 
     For example, a setting of 3E displays a cyan background (3) and a
     yellow foreground (E).
 
     NOTE: Only color displays support all the colors listed. If you
           have a monochrome adapter or monochrome monitor, the only
           available colors are black (0), white (7), bright white (F).
           All other colors are displayed as white.
