CHANGING COLOURS
================

NOTES:
------
· If Reverse Display is activated, the foreground colour becomes the
  background colour

· In SkyPix mode, the first 8 colours can be accessed with standard ANSI
  commands (to allow compatibility with ANSI screens), however the second
  8 SkyPix colours can only be accessed by changing the SkyPix Pen Colour,
  which is discussed later in this text.

· Only the first 8 colours may be used as a background.

· The foreground and background colours can be mixed and matched to achieve
  128 total colour combinations.

AMIGA IMPLEMENTATIONS
=====================

For Amiga terminals, the accepted standard ANSI palette (which most closely
approximates the original CGA text colours) is as follows:

        R   G   B    COLOUR          |        R   G   B    COLOUR
  -----------------------------------+-----------------------------------
   0 =  00  00  00   Black           |   8 =  06  06  06   Dark Grey
   1 =  10  00  00   Red             |   9 =  15  00  00   Bright Red
   2 =  00  10  00   Green           |  10 =  00  15  00   Bright Green
