The Text Mode Color Test contains three subtests that check the video subsystem’s
ability to present color in text modes. The following subsections describe these
subtests.

The 80-column x 25-line color attributes subtest displays a pattern of 16 rows and 16
columns in 80-column by 25-line text mode. Each row has a hexadecimal number in a
unique foreground color and each column has a unique background color. Where the
same foreground and background color intersect, the hexadecimal number is not visi-
ble. Type y if each character is displayed correctly; otherwise, type n. Table B-1
indicates the color in each of the rows and columns.
