===== COLOR BACKGROUND  =====

===== SYNTAX =====
     COLOR BACKGROUND value
     COLOR BACKGROUND index TO value

==== PURPOSE ====


The ''COLOR BACKGROUND'' command allows you to redefine the color used by the graphics chipset
for the background, where this is possible. "Redefinition" means assigning one of the possible 
colors to specific registers called "palette registers".

On some systems this is not possible at all, due to limitations of the chipset or 
the absence of registers: for this reason, in such cases the 
command is ignored. On other systems this corresponds to the modification of specific 
registers, to which one of the available colors is assigned. On others it is possible 
to assign certain shades, which therefore go beyond the number of available colors.

Where it is possible to assign a shade, the value can range from ''0'' to the constant 
''SHADES''. However, it may be more practical to use the ''RGB'' function, which 
allows you to calculate the shade starting from the color components (red, green and blue).





==== ABBREVIATION ====

==== SEE ALSO ====
