olor Palettes Test
The Color Palettes Test checks the video subsystem’s
ability to display all available colors. The test displays
two screens that allow you to check the quality of differ-
ent shades of the basic colors and to test the ability of the
display or monitor to vary the intensity of these colors.
The first screen contains four sets of 64 squares, one for
gray and one for each of the three basic colors (red,
green, and blue). Each square contains a different shade
of its associated color, ranging from very light to very
dark. Type
y
if all the squares are the correct colors; other-
wise, type
n
.
