        ? SETCOLOR()                   // displays "W/B,N/B,W/N,W/N,W/N"
                                       // in white on blue

        COLORSELECT(CLR_ENHANCED)      // enhanced is active color pair
        ? "I'm black and blue"         // displayed in black on blue
        COLORSELECT(CLR_STANDARD)      // restore standard color
