The default white-on-black colors can be restored either by entering PT3COLOR wxPT4 or by issuing the command PT3ANSI OFFPT4 and clearing the screen. If PT3ANSI ONPT4 is then issued, the last-selected color scheme will return. The default ANSI drivers in OS/2 support 43- and 50-line as well as 25-line text modes.

MDBONote: MDNMIf the Presentation Manager is used, windowed applications provide their own color information. COLOR.EXE is used only for full-screen command line operation.
