The 256 color mode uses a look up table (palette) to get 256 colors out of 2^6
possible colors. The turboC 'environment' probably changes the palette, maybe
making a range of LUT entries 0. Try saving the palette on entering your
program, setting default or desired palette, then restoring palette on exit.
That should be pretty portable :-).
