  ForeColor &  BackColor handle the following predefined colors: black,
white, red, megenta, blue, cyan, green, and yellow.
 ColorBit handles up to 32 bit pixel color data.
Thats for v105 (128/512k Mac), v112 (MacXL) ROMs, Macintosh System Software
(1984), and v1.1 Lisa Pascal. The routines output color to any color output
device (monitor,printer,etc.)
