Several commands (SETPENCOLOR, SETFLOODCOLOR, SETSCREENCOLOR) exist in Logo to specify red, green, and blue intensities of color. Each input represents how much red, green, and blue you want in the color. Each input has a range of 0-255. You can create 16.7 million different colors by mixing different amounts of red, green, and blue.
Example of instructions that set some common pen colors:
Instruction | Color | Sample |
---|---|---|
SETPENCOLOR [000 000 000] | black | |
SETPENCOLOR [255 255 255] | white | |
SETPENCOLOR [128 128 128] | gray | |
SETPENCOLOR [255 000 000] | red | |
SETPENCOLOR [000 255 000] | green | |
SETPENCOLOR [000 000 255] | blue |
For compatibility with other Logo implementations and simplicity for young programmers, FMSLogo also supports single index colors.
If you set any color with an 16 color index, then FMSLogo outputs all colors as a 16 color index.
If you set any color with an [red green blue] color vector or with a word such as "red
, then FMSLogo outputs all colors as [red green blue] color vectors.

Any FMSLogo primitive that inputs a color can input it as a color index, color name, or a color vector. When using a color index, the index-to-color mapping is given in the following table.
