The FOREGROUND-COLOR Clause

General Rules

1. This clause is available for use only with a color screen.
2. Integer-1 or identifier-1 specifies the foreground color of the screen item. The colors and their corresponding values are:

   0	black	8	grey
   1	blue	9	light blue
   2	green	10	light green
   3	cyan	11	light cyan
   4	red	12	light red
   5	magenta	13	light magenta
   6	brown or yellow	14	yellow
   7	white	15	high intensity white

   On a color screen, if the value is from 8 to 15, this is equivalent to specifying an integer from 0 to 7 and specifying the HIGHLIGHT clause. On a monochrome screen, this is equivalent to simply specifying the HIGHLIGHT clause.

3. If this clause is not specified, the foreground color defaults to white.
4. If a screen description contains a BLANK SCREEN clause, and either contains a FOREGROUND-COLOR clause or is subordinate to one that does, then when the screen item is displayed by a DISPLAY statement the specified color becomes the default foreground color. It remains the default foreground color until either another screen item with this combination of options is displayed (whether in the same DISPLAY statement or another), or a Format 3 DISPLAY statement with both options is executed.
5. If the HIGHLIGHT clause is also specified, foreground colors are brightened and lightened; for example on some hardware, black can become grey and brown can become yellow. However, this does not apply to the BLANK SCREEN clause.
6. Identifier-1 must be an unsigned numeric integer and should contain a value between 0 and 7. Any value higher than 7 is divided by 8 and the remainder used as the color value.
7. Identifier-1 must not be subject to OCCURS clauses.
8. Whether a value of 6 in integer-1 or identifier-1 produces brown or yellow depends on the terminal hardware.
