=== Hercules InColor Card === {{Main articles|Hercules InColor Card}} The '''InColor Card''' ('''GB222''') was introduced in April 1987. It included color capabilities similar to the [[Enhanced Graphics Adapter|EGA]], with 16 colors from a palette of 64. It retained the same two modes ({{resx|80Γ25}} text with redefinable fonts and {{resx|720Γ348}} graphics), and was backward-compatible with software written for the earlier monochrome Hercules cards.<ref name="Elliot_2012_InColor">{{cite web |author-last=Elliott |author-first=John C. |date=2012-08-05 |title=Hercules InColor Card: Notes |url=http://www.seasip.info/VintagePC/incolor.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161123123816/http://www.seasip.info/VintagePC/incolor.html |archive-date=2016-11-23 |access-date=2016-11-23}} (Pictures and programming information)</ref><ref name="Wilton_1993">{{cite book |author-last=Wilton |author-first=Richard |title=Programmer's guide to the PC & PS/2 video systems |date=1987 |publisher=[[Microsoft Press]] |isbn=1-55615-103-9 |edition=1st}} (NB.
