Macintosh II Family: Why Color Icons Are Black and White



I would like to know why my color monitor with a 256-color video card
displays a black Apple icon instead of a color icon for the DA menu.
Also, why is the startup "Welcome to Macintosh" Macintosh icon not in
color, although it is a color system?

The most likely cause is that your Monitors control panel is set to Black
& White. If the Monitors control panel is set to Black & White, the
Welcome to Macintosh icon and the Apple icon will be black. To get color
icons, all you need to do is set the Monitors control panel to either 16
colors or 256 colors.
