it was interesting that when the PC came out, it really had no support for color or any of the more interesting stuff that its competitors, like Apple, had. I think IBM had the view of the drab corporate desktop where noone wanted color or graphics. The original PC supported colour. Green IIRC. ;-) Henry Ford said about the Model T, "You can paint it any color, so long as it's black".
The PC supported CGA. 16 colours?

IIRC, when the IBM PC was first released, it supported only monochrome text. CGA came out slightly later.
