ncurses_color_set - Set active foreground and background colors

SYNOPSIS

       int ncurses_color_set (int  $pair)

DESCRIPTION

	Sets the active foreground and background colors. Any characters written after this function is invoked will have these colors. This func-
       tion requires terminal colors to be supported and initialized using ncurses_start_color(3) beforehand.

	ncurses uses color pairs to specify both foreground and background colors. Use ncurses_init_pair(3) to define a color pair.

PARAMETERS

	      o $pair
		- The color pair from which to get the foreground and background colors to set as the active colors.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns -1 on success, and 0 on failure.

EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      Writing a string with a specified color to the screen

	      <?php
	      ncurses_init();

	      // If the terminal supports colors, initialize and set active color
	      if (ncurses_has_colors()) {
		  ncurses_start_color();
		  ncurses_init_pair(1, NCURSES_COLOR_YELLOW, NCURSES_COLOR_BLUE);
		  ncurses_color_set(1);
	      }

	      // Write a string at specified location
	      ncurses_mvaddstr(10, 10, "Hello world! Yellow on blue text!");
