Description	A solid blue (BLU), gray, green (GRN), red, or
	white (WHT) box fills the active video area.

	Only the white fill has a secondary version. It can
	be changed to a black fill.
Test	Purity adjustment
Purpose	To produce correct colors in a displayed image,
	the electron beams from each of the three (3) guns
	in the CRT should strike only their matching
	phosphors. A white image shows patches of various
	colors on a monitor with bad purity. The purity
	adjustment(s) should be performed before doing
	any brightness or color tests. In some cases, purity
	adjustments involve loosening and repositioning
	the yoke, in which case purity should be adjusted
	prior to doing any geometry tests.
