You can also use display to change the foreground, background, and border 
colors but you'll have to do this each time you boot NitrOS-9 (perhaps in 
the startup file). This changes the current window (/term in my case) to 
white text on a black background with a black border:

display 1b 32 08 1b 33 02 1b 34 02

The colors for the default palette are:

00 white
01 blue
02 black
03 green
04 red
05 yellow
06 magenta
07 cyan
08 white
09 blue
10 black
11 green
12 red
13 yellow
14 magenta
15 cyan
