This variable is typically used when a character-based application is moved to
a graphical environment. Use the COLOR_TABLE variable to cause transformations of individual color combinations. For
example, a COLOR_TABLE entry might cause a red foreground on a black background to be
translated to a white foreground on a blue background.
Follow the word COLOR_TABLE with the original foreground and background numbers, separated by a
comma. Follow these by an equal sign and then the new foreground and background
numbers, again separated by a comma.
For example, to transform the color combination of foreground 5 on background
2 to foreground 13 on background 2, you would use:
COLOR_TABLE 5, 2 = 13, 2
