Operatinf System = ? (DOS text / DOS graphic / Windows / Linux, etc)

compiler-that is used with turboc2
In text mode? I don't know of a way to have more than 16 colours AT ONE TIME, but you could always change the palette on VGA.

In graphics mode, use 320x240 256 colour mode, or use VESA BIOS Extensions for higher resolutions with more than 16 colours.

I'm assuming your compiler is a DOS compiler (Turbo C version 2?)
First specify the OS you are using, what i mean is this:
If it is dos you can have "any" 16 colors on screen at a time. If it is windows i think you can use more than 16 colors. If it is linux the graphics programming is totally different.
