    The 128K version of Spectrum Holobyte's Tetris uses color Double-Hi-Res 
mode, but it sounds like something is forcing it into monochrome. With the 
Apple IIgs, there is a Control Panel option under 'Display' which will force
DHR mode to use monochrome. However, considering the fact your playing the
non-GS specific version of the game and mention a digital RGB monitor, I
assume your using an Apple IIe or IIc.

    You need to give more detail about your system, interface and display, 
in order to figure out just what is forcing the game into monochrome mode
(560x192 rather than 140x192x16).
