Are there any screenshots of color graphics on Interlisp-D? Is the color logo in this AAAI 82 photo an actual monitor or just a sign?

Hard to say. That was the logo you got when starting a color sysout though. I always closed it because it took up too much space.

Interesting, with the "color number finder" there does that mean color was indexed rather than "mixed" with RGB triplets?
