I'm pretty sure the video card I have is colour, however, I've only actually
hooked it up once, and that was years ago. What can I say, I got the SE/30
for it's small footprint and fast[1] processor, I didn't care that it had a
video card in it, I needed the ethernet more.

[1] Of course fast being relative to the app, and at the time my primary
system was a PowerMac 8500/180. Still the SE/30 with MS Word 5.1 makes a
great word processor!
There was at least one video card made for the
SE/30, I've got one in mine,
and I've got a SCSI-to-Ethernet adapter for network access.
I remember the first Mac I used back in '89 was an SE/30 with a
grey-scale (8 bit) card made by RasterOps. It had a grey-scale monitor
to go with it too. That was when the Apple LaserWriter had more RAM than
the machine that was printing! Aaah, the smell of ozone.
