COLOR

This command allow to redefine every single color, and therefore to each index can actually be assigned a hue among the hues available. The indices are a small selection from a wide range of possible colors.

If we wish, we can set this number directly to a value between 0 and SCREEN SHADES. Typically, however, we use the RGB function that allows us to mix the gradient by obtaining it from the sum of three simple components.
