First colour monitor I had was orange, light orange, dark orange and very dark orange - a CGA laptop from my dads work. I remember Railroad Tycoon Ran with option 5,1,2 but Civilisation would have to wait a few years for the full blown desktop 286 (12Mhz, 1M ram and a full 40MB hard drive!)

Sounds like a gas plasma display.

  No, it’s a plain CRT. Monochrome CRTs can use any color for the phosphor, and cheap displays usually used some variant of green or orange.

    Thanks. I'd said gas plasma because it can be really orange, where the common CRT color is more amber/yellow than orange.
