It is also the default color (gray on Blue) for the old DOS WordPerfect
versions.

Well, I don't know. However, MS Word/Windows and
/Macintosh has a strange
option: to have large white letters on a blue background instead of black
on white. This has nothing to do with any color settings, and no other
colors can be used in a similar way. This may have classic reasons. Anyone
know?
Don't know the exact reason but that was the default color
combination of the DOS version of MS Word (and every day I use
the current version, I long for the old one).
