If you have set up the GUI interface, you can change its colors. From the Global GUI Color Change Utility panel shown in Figure 1, you can map each of the seven host colors to one of 16 workstation colors:

Host Colors

Red
Black
Pink
Dark blue

Turq (turquoise)
Dark magenta

Choose colors that contrast with the panel background so that the text can be read easily.

Figure 1. Global GUI color change utility panel (ISPOPTG1)
As described in the text.
This panel provides three options for mapping host colors:
1
Host colors for all panel fields. Any colors that you remap affect all panel fields.
2
Host colors for non-CUA attributes only. Any colors that you remap affect only panel fields with non-CUA attributes.
3
Workstation default colors for all panel fields. Remapping colors will have no effect.

The display will reflect any color changes made immediately when you press Enter.

Note: If a field uses a non-CUA attribute without a color specified, ISPF does not specify a color for the field and the field defaults to the 3270 default color on the host. That same field defaults to the workstation default color when it is displayed on the workstation, even if "Host colors for all panel fields" is selected.
