Explanation
PAL <palette code>,<colour code>
The PAL statement matches a palette code and colour codes to each other. Both
the palette and colour code parameters can have a value from 0 to 15. In colour
modes other than the 16-colour mode, the user can select two or four palette codes
at a time and can select 16 colours. In the 16-colour mode, the user can set up a
palette block with the INIT command and select four palettes for that block, again
enabling selection of 16 colours. The default (initial) values of the palette and colour
codes are given below.
(1) 2-colour mode
Palette code Colour code
0 0 Black
1 15 Light white
(2) 4-colour mode
The table below shows the relationship between the palette and colour codes
that is established when BASIC is started.
Palette code Colour code
0 0 Black
1 1 Blue
2 2 Red
3 15 Light white
You can select four colour codes out of a possible 16 colour codes.
(3) 16-colour mode
The default palette code values are identical to those in colour mode. In this
mode, colours are fixed for each palette block (see the ‘“‘INIT Statement’’ for
palette blocks).
n: Palette block number
{ n_ |Colour code | Colour n_ |Colour code Colour

3 Magenta 1 Light magenta

iS Cyan 13 Light cyan
6 Yellow 14 Light yellow

Note:
When a palette block is changed with the INIT statement in the 16-colour mode,
the palette code settings are initialized. See Appendix A for details of colour codes
and pallette codes.
