❇ COLOR: background parameter

In the original version of wwwBASIC (the BASIC interpreter used in BASIC Anywhere Machine), the background color parameter is ignored for all screen modes greater than zero.

This has been changed in BASIC Anywhere Machine: the background color parameter is applied in all screen modes.
