Well it works! However, I don't understand why changing the order of the color names would matter? After all, we're randomly choosing an index number to access a color in the sequence. But it does... good eye! Thanks.

It seems that the problem was that the demo program you ran assumed you'd be using Windows and not OSX.

Anyhow, I've updated graphcst.e and graphics.e so that the same color numbers can be used on all platforms now to mean the same color.

And here is a better program to demonstrate this.

---- 
include graphics.e  
integer foreground_color  
sequence list_of_colors, already_used  
  
text_color(BLACK)  
bk_color(WHITE) 
clear_screen()  
  
list_of_colors = {"BLACK", "BLUE","GREEN","CYAN","RED","MAGENTA","BROWN",  
                   "WHITE","GRAY","BRIGHT_BLUE","BRIGHT_GREEN",  
                   "BRIGHT_CYAN","BRIGHT_RED","BRIGHT_MAGENTA",  
                   "YELLOW","BRIGHT_WHITE", 
                   -- Now for the 'blinking' names 
                   "B-BLACK", "B-BLUE","B-GREEN","B-CYAN","B-RED","B-MAGENTA", 
                   "B-BROWN",  
                   "B-WHITE","B-GRAY","B-BRIGHT_BLUE","B-BRIGHT_GREEN",  
                   "B-BRIGHT_CYAN","B-BRIGHT_RED","B-BRIGHT_MAGENTA",  
                   "B-YELLOW","B-BRIGHT_WHITE", 
                   $}  
  
already_used = {}  
  
while length(already_used) < 31 do  
     while find(foreground_color,already_used) with entry do  
     entry 
          foreground_color = rand(32)-1  
     end while  
     already_used = already_used & foreground_color  
     text_color(foreground_color)  
     if find(foreground_color, {WHITE, WHITE + 16}) then 
     	bk_color(BLACK) 
     else 
     	bk_color(WHITE) 
     end if 
     printf(1, "Text in %s\n",{list_of_colors[foreground_color+1]})  
end while 
text_color(BLACK)  
bk_color(WHITE)
