where can I find the more info about colors for 16 bit dos applications and their hex codes?
Any reference covering standard VGA.
VGA_TCOL_BLACK equ 00h
VGA_TCOL_BLUE equ 01h
VGA_TCOL_GREEN equ 02h
VGA_TCOL_CYAN equ 03h
VGA_TCOL_RED equ 04h
VGA_TCOL_MAGENTA equ 05h
VGA_TCOL_ORANGE equ 06h
VGA_TCOL_GREY equ 07h
VGA_TCOL_DKGREY equ 08h
VGA_TCOL_LTBLUE equ 09h
VGA_TCOL_LTGREEN equ 0Ah
VGA_TCOL_LTCYAN equ 0Bh
VGA_TCOL_LTRED equ 0Ch
VGA_TCOL_LTMAGENTA equ 0Dh
VGA_TCOL_YELLOW equ 0Eh
VGA_TCOL_WHITE equ 0Fh
VGA_BCOL_BLACK equ 00h
VGA_BCOL_BLUE equ 10h
VGA_BCOL_GREEN equ 20h
VGA_BCOL_CYAN equ 30h
VGA_BCOL_RED equ 40h
VGA_BCOL_MAGENTA equ 50h
VGA_BCOL_ORANGE equ 60h
VGA_BCOL_GREY equ 70h
VGA_B_FLASH equ 80h
Each character cell has one of VGA_TCOL_ and VGA_BCOL_ for setting the text and background colours. VGA_B_FLASH is an optional extra.
Default text would be: VGA_TCOL_GREY+VGA_BCOL_BLACK (grey text on black background.) Whereas, VGA_TCOL_WHITE+VGA_BCOL_RED+VGA_B_FLASH gives flashing white text on a red background.
