I am preparing for the CompTIA Server+ exam and was going through their official practice questions. I came across a confusing question.

Question 10

An administrator is unable to access a Linux host running virtual servers. Upon further investigation, the administrator views the console of the server and determines the server has crashed. Which of the following is the color of the screen?

A. White B. Black C. Green D. Purple E. Blue

I confidently chose "B. Black", since I thought the administrator switched to a virtual terminal with Ctrl+Alt+F3 to switch to CLI mode and check logs. Since terminals are black, I thought that would be the answer. I also came up with Kernel Panics, which are also displayed on the black screen as text. To my surprise, the answer was "D, Purple".

This isn't Windows so the screen shouldn't turn blue or any other color when something fatal happens. Am I missing something?
