NAME
       setvtrgb - customize the console color map

SYNOPSIS
       setvtrgb vga

       setvtrgb FILE|-

DESCRIPTION
       setvtrgb	 sets the console color map in all virtual terminals according
       to custom values specified in a file or standard input.	With the `vga'
       parameter,  it  can also be used to restore the settings built into the
       kernel.

       When invoked with a filename or `-', setvtrgb expects input as follows:

	 color0_r,color1_r,...,color15_r
	 color0_g,color1_g,...,color15_g
	 color0_b,color1_b,...,color15_b

       where colorN_{r,g,b} is the red/green/blue portion  of  the  respective
       color  in  decimal notation in the 0..255 range.	 To pre-seed a file in
       the correct format, you can use

	 cat /sys/module/vt/parameters/default_{red,grn,blu}

       The meanings of the color values are defined as follows:

	 +--------+--------+---------+
	 | Normal | Bright | Color   |
	 +--------+--------+---------+
	 |	0 |	 8 | Black   |
	 |	1 |	 9 | Red     |
	 |	2 |	10 | Green   |
	 |	3 |	11 | Yellow  |
	 |	4 |	12 | Blue    |
	 |	5 |	13 | Magenta |
	 |	6 |	14 | Cyan    |
	 |	7 |	15 | White   |
