TextColor Sets the Foreground Color for Text
TextColor(Color : Integer); [TP]
Sets the foreground color for all new text displayed. Previous text on
the screen retains its previous foreground color. The new color
selected continues to be used until another color is chosen. The
foreground color is the color of the character itself, versus the
color displayed behind the character (background color).

Values Colors Values Colors
--------------------------------------------------------
0 Black 8 DarkGray
1 Blue 9 LightBlue
2 Green 10 LightGreen
3 Cyan 11 LightCyan
4 Red 12 LightRed
5 Magenta 13 LightMagenta
6 Brown 14 Yellow
7 LightGray 15 White
--------------------------------------------------------
Notes: On some monitors the intensity signal is not
recognized, therefore Light colors (colors 8-15) are
displayed the same as their dark equivalents (colors
0-7).
Values from 16 to 31 represent the colors 0-15, except
the text blinks. Turbo Pascal has a predefined
constant called Blink that can be added to a color to
generate blinking text.
Note that the colors listed are predefined as
constants having the corresponding values, so that a
magenta foreground can be generated by the procedure
TextColor(Magenta). Likewise, the constant Blink is
predefined, so that blinking green text can be
generated with the procedure TextColor(Green+Blink).
-------------------------------- Example ---------------------------------
TextBackground(Red); { set background to red }
TextColor(Blue); { set text color to blue }
