on textmode startup, required for the freebsd installer (from seabios), boot the freebsd installer on an x200 (which was the test machine, in this case)

the text in the installer is a mild pink, rather than pure white. it's supposed to be white.

once installed and booted into, if you switch to kms (kernel mode setting) for high res terminal or xorg/wayland, colours are correct

i didn't even realise this was a problem before, because i haven't installed freebsd on non-coreboot machines in many years, so i just assumed it was normal. it was readable to me, but apparently some people struggle to read it

i tested the installer in a vm and the text was pure white
