Set current color

Default of m:
0 (monochrome)
This command will set the current color to the color m for all character data that may follow this command and all
graphic objects (bit images) that have not been explicitly loaded as two-color.
m = 0 (monochrome) is the initial value
m = 1 (two-color paper "primary color", usually black)
m = 2 (second color available from two-color paper)
The m values 0 and 1 will not have a distinguishable effect; 0 is the initial value and provides parameter value
consistency with other commands.
