Color Palettes Test

The Color Palettes Test checks the video subsystem’s ability to display all available colors. The test displays two screens that allow you to check the quality of differ- ent shades of the basic colors and to test the ability of the display or monitor to vary the intensity of these colors.

The first screen contains four sets of 64 squares, one for gray and one for each of the three basic colors (red, green, and blue). Each square contains a different shade of its associated color, ranging from very light to very dark. Type y if all the squares are the correct colors; other- wise, type n.
