For color video memory, each character is represented by two bytes: first byte is the ASCII value of the character, the second is the color of the character as determined by the following:
Bit 7: Foreground Blinking
Bit 6: Background Red
Bit 5: Background Green
Bit 4: Background Blue
Bit 3: Foreground Intensity
Bit 2: Foreground Red
Bit 1: Foreground Green
Bit 0: Foreground Blue
The usual value is 0x07, which gives a low-intensity white on a black background.
