| Mar 16, 2018 at 8:28 | comment | added | MC Emperor | @ThomasDickey That's what it makes peculiar — the colored picture in my question is actually generated by the ACUCOBOL runtime. | |
| Mar 16, 2018 at 7:35 | comment | added | JdeBP | Its documentation of colour gives the answer. It is not actually "you can't", and it's one of several reasons that correctly stating the output device in the question is important. | |
| Mar 15, 2018 at 21:07 | comment | added | Thomas Dickey | It looks like you ran a script which sent codes 100-107. You can modify a termcap to do that, but can't make it choose from both 40-47 and 100-107. | |
| Mar 15, 2018 at 9:36 | comment | added | MC Emperor | Thanks for the explanation, it (now) makes sense to me. Leaves me with one last question (see question edit): why can the brightness still be applied to black and white? That should be impossible, isn't it? | |

| Mar 15, 2018 at 8:02 | comment | added | Thomas Dickey | Its documentation of color is no better. | |
