I dunno if you *CAN*. Cyan was popular back in the C=64 days, but you rarely see that as a stard color option nowadays..

I dunno about that. I think cyan gets a lot of play in color palettes. It was one of the 4 CGA colors, two of the 16 EGA colors, and is well represented in the ANSI color palette as well. Maybe BBSes don't offer it a lot, but it's always gotten a lot of opportunity to succeed in more restricted color palettes. But you can only fight natural selection so long, even if you're a lonely hue.

Maybe Tom should offer a CGA stylesheet for the BBS just to remind everyone how fortunate we are to have our pick of colors!
