DESCRIPTION
       The  setvtrgb command takes a single argument, either the string vga , or a path to a file containing the red,
       green, and blue colors to be used by the Linux virtual terminals.

       If you use the FILE parameter, FILE should be exactly 3 lines of 16 comma-separated decimal  values  for  RED,
