The Color property lets you set colors regardless of the actual terminal type, although some terminals may not display these attributes correctly. Also, many terminal emulator programs allow local customization of color attributes. Under either of these conditions, which are not detectable by the screen methods, the display may not show the intended colors.
For an example using Color method calls, see “Screen class example”.
