[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Can I get color?

Color missing:

 I have a few old but useful programs that run in dull black and white.
My question is this: does a .com program have a loctation inside that can be
patched to a new background / forground color?
If it is, do I look for a certain sequence of bytes ?
Is it possible at all? One of the programs resets the colors for
 DOS, others revert back to the former DOS colors after they run.
 I have a couple of well working color setting utilities, that is not a
 problem. Just like to patch the dull ones to put new life into them.
