 VGA adapters usually support both monochrome and color modes, though the monochrome mode is almost never used, and support for the full set of MDA text mode attributes (intense, underline) is often missing.Black and white text on nearly all modern VGA adapters is drawn by using gray colored text on a black background in color mode.VGA monochrome monitors intended primarily for text were sold, but most of them will work at least adequately with a VGA adapter in color mode.
