A document infected with the Colors virus contains the following eight macros:

AutoClose AutoExec AutoOpen
FileExit FileNew FileSave
FileSaveAs ToolsMacro

The virus changes many of the menu items to make it difficult to delete. For example, it effectively removes the Tools Macros command so you can't list or delete the macros in a program with that command.

After being accessed 300 times, Colors activates and randomly changes the system colors in the win.ini file making the screen look strange.
