Some Linux distributions like Fedora start booting to an all black screen. I found out the reason why is because there appears to be something wrong with the screen node's color! word.
If you type these commands in OpenBIOS: dev screen see color!
You will see that color! is empty. This would definitely prevent the color of text from being changed.
color! definitely does work as I spent some time digging into it when I rewrote the framebuffer code a while back. The issue seemed either endian or depth related because the problem goes away in 8-bit mode, e.g. try booting with -g 800x600x8 but I didn't really dig that far.
