assume hex

How about using int 10, ah=10,al=0,bh=color value, bl=palette register
or if setting all of them then try
int 10, ah=10, al=2, es:dx = segment:offset of color list
which is 17dec bytes
0-f are color values to be loaded to palette registers 0-f
byte 10 is the new border value color register.
