Have look at the manual page for test
Does that make it any clearer? It's better for you to learn it than for me to just tell you an answer, but I will happily do so if it still doesn't make sense.

vga_setrgbcolor
vga_setrgbcolor(3) Svgalib User Manual vga_setrgbcolor(3)
NAME
vga_setrgbcolor - set the current color
SYNOPSIS
#include <vga.h>
void vga_setrgbcolor(int r, int g, int b);
DESCRIPTION
Set the current color to RGB values r, g, and b, each in the range 0-255. Does not make sense in 256 or less color modes. Use vga_set-
color(3) there. The color is used by vga_drawpixel(3) and vga_drawline(3).
The fun(6) and vgatest(6) demos show the basic use of this function.
SEE ALSO
svgalib(7), vgagl(7), libvga.config(5), fun(6), vgatest(6), vga_drawpixel(3), vga_drawline(3)
AUTHOR
This manual page was edited by Michael Weller <eowmob@exp-math.uni-essen.de>. The exact source of the referenced function as well as of the
original documentation is unknown.
It is very likely that both are at least to some extent are due to Harm Hanemaayer <H.Hanemaayer@inter.nl.net>.
Occasionally this might be wrong. I hereby asked to be excused by the original author and will happily accept any additions or corrections
