I am using the include file st7735.inc
all working well but lots of the colours are not recognized by the compiler

From the include file ....

' Set some RGB565 colours
'
$define clBlack          %0000000000000000
$define clBrightBlue     %0000000000011111

I did not realise the differences myself when I created the code. :-) But I always makes sure I use the correct spelling for "Analogue" and "Colour", and "Aluminium". :-) LOL

To make the colours into the English spelling as well as the American spelling, you can add extra $defines for the preprocessor:

$define clLightGrey clLightGray
$define clDarkGrey clDarkGray
$define clGrey0 clGray0
$define clGrey1 clGray1
$define clGrey2 clGray2
$define clGrey3 clGray3
$define clGrey4 clGray4
$define clGrey5 clGray5
$define clGrey6 clGray6
