Curses is standardized in the X/Open Portability Guide, but we (and to a lesser extent Solaris) are the only vendors using non-ncurses versions today.
The menu and form libraries come from AT&T, specifically UNIX System V Release 4.2.
However, I doubt the colour specification comes from Unix at all, but rather ANSI and IBM.
