Tandy Color Computer 3 Manual page 27

USING
THE
DISPLAY
Color
is
the
Tandy
Color
Computer's middle
name
. . .
and
your
computer's
built-in
flair
for flights of light
and sound
lets
you
make
computing
the brightest
and most
exciting
adventure
this
side
of
the
Land
of
Oz.
The
Color
Computer
can produce 64
distinct
colors
(as
many
as 16
at
a
time).
The
color
tones
you
actually
see
depend
on
the
quality
and
color
adjustment
of
your
display
unit
—
not
on
the computer.
When
you use
a
plug-in
ROM
Program
Pak, the cartridge
program
determines the color
on
your
television
screen.
However,
when
you
use Color
BASIC,
you
control
the
colors.
Getting
Out
of
Prism
A
program
is
a
set
of
instructions that
causes
a
computer
to
perform
certain operations. That's
it.
That's
all
there
is
to
it.
So
far
you've
only
seen two
colors
—
green
and
black.
Now
let's
take a
look
at
all
of the colors
your
computer can
generate.
(If
you
are using
a
TV
or
a composite
monitor, the following
program
provides
an
opportunity
for
you
to
adjust your
colors. But,
remember,
the
range
of
adjustment
varies
depending on
the condition
and
quality of
your
display
unit.)
Start
Color
BASIC
by pressing the
RESET
button,
and
then type the
following
program.
Don't
worry about
spacing, but
be
sure
you
type
everything
else
exactly as
listed
on
the following
page.
