default_palette(3)

📦 version 4.4.3.1, in fedora 43, fedora 44

✨ NAME ✨

default_palette — the default IBM BIOS palette, bestie 💖 straight out of the Allegro game programming library.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro.h>

extern PALETTE default_palette;

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Okay so listen. default_palette is the default IBM BIOS palette. That's the whole vibe. 👑

The way it works: this palette gets automatically selected any time you set a new graphics mode. No asking, no opt-in, it just shows up like the main character it is. 💁♀️

And what's inside? 16 basic colors plus many gradients between them. So like, the classics, but also every smooth little in-between moment. It's giving range. It's giving ✨versatility✨.

Now, if you're sitting there like "bestie I need to see the actual values", valid. Two ways, pick your fighter:

  1. Write a small Allegro program that saves a screenshot with this palette. 📸
  2. Open the grabber tool that comes with Allegro and create a new palette object — which will use this palette by default, no cap.

That's it. That's the whole thing. Go be iconic with your 16 colors. 🎀
