       The COLOR special lets you place colored reminders in the
calendar.  Use it like this:

            REM ... SPECIAL COLOR 255 0 0 This is a bright red reminder
            REM ... SPECIAL COLOR 0 128 0 This is a dark green reminder

       Immediately following COLOR should be three decimal numbers
ranging from 0 to 255 specify‐
       ing red, green and blue intensities, respectively.  The rest of
the line is  the  text  to
       put in the calendar.

       The COLOR special is "doubly special", because in its normal
operating mode, remind treats
       a COLOR special just like a MSG-type reminder.  Also, if you
invoke  Remind  with  -cc...,
       then it approximates SPECIAL COLOR reminders on your terminal.
