Colors
Usually, it is possible to specify a foreground color and a background color. Since DoomRL uses 4 bit color, the lowest 4 bits determine the foreground color, and the next 4 bits determine the background color (zero is black). Occasionally, one of these may conflict with one of the special color constants. See Modding:Color for details.
Also, note that the exact color the end-user sees may depend on his system settings.
For the basic 16 colors, the valkyrie string coloring escape is noted.
