A color pair uses the following format: <foreground color code>/<background color code> Color scheme A set of 10 color pairs that are separated by commas.

You can save a color set to or load one from the FOXUSER resource file.The following tools allow you to change the current color set and modify the FOXUSER.DBF file:
MORE INFORMATIONYou can specify any of the following colors in a color pair:
Color Code ----- ---- Black N Blank X Blue B Brown GR Cyan BG Gray W Green G Inverse video I Magenta RB Red R Underlined U White W+ Yellow GR+NOTE: The inverse and underlined colors are not available on a color monitor. The only characters available on a monochrome monitor are black, inverse, underlined, and white. On a monochrome monitor, white may be "W+" or "W." You can create additional colors by adding a "+" or a "*" to the color code.
Result Code ------------------------------- High Intensity On + Blink On * Bright Background On *The SET BLINK command determines the interpretation of the "*" code. When FoxPro runs in an MS-DOS window in the Microsoft Windows version 3.0 or 3.1 environment and certain fonts are used, the "*" specifies a bright background regardless of the SET BLINK value. The table below lists the FoxPro color schemes and their use.
