The Color Graphics Adapter (CGA), introduced in 1981, was IBM's first color graphics card (originally sold under the name "Color/Graphics Monitor Adapter"), and the first color computer display standard for the IBM PC.

The standard IBM CGA graphics card was equipped with 16 kilobytes of video memory. The CGA card featured several graphics and text modes with a resolution of up to 640×200 and up to 16 colors (albeit not at that resolution).
