Color is a setting in the LC II's monitor control panel (you'd need a color display). The display is limited to a resolution of ~512x480 I think. If you set it to color and the setting doesn't stick after a reboot then you probably need a new PRAM battery (kinda like CMOS battery for PC). As George Crawford says above, they are quite limited. I have an LCII with an 80MB HD, 10MB RAM (well 12, but only 10 is usable), and I might have a VRAM stick (if the LC II has one). It's a slow, old computer, but it's kinda cool in it's pizza box style and it's extremely light by comparison to most computers.
