8.11.5 Color Register
The color of a displayed character can be specified by setting the
color to one of the 4 registers (CO0 to CO3: addresses 00E616 to
00E916) and then specifying that color register with the OSD RAM.
There are 3 color outputs; R, G and B. By using a combination of
these outputs, it is possible to set 8 colors. However, since only 4
color registers are available, up to 4 colors can be disabled at one
time.
R, G and B outputs are set by using bits 1 to 3 in the color register. Bit
5 is used to specify whether a character output or blank output. Bits
4, 6 and 7 are used to specify character background color. Figure
8.11.12 shows the color register.

Notes 1: When bit 5 =“0” and bit 4 = “1,” there is output same as a character or
border output from pin OUT1.
Do not set bit 5 = “0” and bit 4 = “0.”
2: When only bit 7 =“1” and bit 5 “0,” there is output from pin OUT2.
