Actually, the limitation isn't in the turbo pascal libraries.  There is
a limitation on the standard color card palette.  You can't even choose
all the possible combinations of colors; just a subset of 4 palettes.

If you want more colors, you'll need to upgrade to an EGA card or highter.
Also, the present level of TP doesn't support ega (unless you buy their
graphics toolbox package).

Therefore, I would say that  Turbo 4.0 will not support more than the
4 colors unless you get an ega card, and then only if they support the EGA.
