Depending on the video chipset considered, the parameter of this function can be the number of possible colors or a specific register. Furthermore, the information returned is of type COLOR, so it can be used where it is necessary to indicate a color.

Note that this function does not necessarily return information on the "shade", but the result can be compared with the predefined constants.
