Gentlemen,
Thank you all for the answers.
Some background of the question: Sometimes I have to do with IT folks
hostile to mainframe. Isn't it usual? Maybe, but it's boring and
sometimes annoying. Especially when you have to explain mainframe "black
screen" is colorful and it was colorful

I was working in the IBM Toronto Lab prior to the 3279 announcement and was a
tester for the product (developed at IBM Hursley). Somewhere I have a photo of
myself sitting at my 3279 when I got an award. I still have a copy of a
pre-announce version of a paper on developing colour applications

The 3279 used tri-plane symbols for extended colour (turquoise, pink,

The interesting question to me is "which colours"?
I would say we started with a 3-bit colour space: R, G, B. And so the
colour Red is 100 in this space and a more complex colour like Yellow is

Very early 1980s - earlier than I remember support for DIDOCS or ISPF.
And almost certainly GDDM was under development in
For some reason, people insist on calling a CRT with an amber phosphor a green
screen. IBM probably had color devices for the military or for process control
before the 3279, but I know of no commercial color CRT terminal before it.
IBM had color support for DIDOCS, ISPF and XEDIT pretty early.

My first color terminal was a 3279 in the early 1980s. I think we had both a
model 2 and model 3. I don't recall if they had the extended color feature.
As far as I know the IBM 3279 was IBMs first color terminal.
Thanks..
