The color settings are dependent on which disk you're booting with.
If you (for example) boot up with a floppy, set up the color screens, and
then boot from newly created hard drive, the settings are likely to revert
to the default.
I too was surprised when a similar phenom happened to me, and
realized then that the settings aren't stored in Parameter RAM.
An aside: you consider 5MB with a 256-color card and a color
screen "Vanilla"????! Just what kind of car do you drive, anyway?? :-) :-)
