The VT100 manual is here: http://www.vt100.net/docs/vt100-tm/ek-vt100-tm-002.pdf
And according to http://terminals.classiccmp.org/wiki/index.php/DEC_VT100 the phosphor color of the VT100 is “P4” which according to childhood memories is the standard phosphor for black and white TV sets. IIRC, P4 is slightly blueish. And if I may comment, the communities of people interested in old terminals seem to be fully as obsessive as the group here! There were lots of different standard phosphors, differing in color and “persistance”. You would use a fast phosphor like P4 for a TV constantly refreshing and a slow phosphor like P40 for things like oscilloscopes and radar sets on which you want the picture to fade slowly. The VT100 manual says there were both Elston and Ball monitors used in the VT100. It doesn’t say if they were exactly the same color. -Larry
