Do you mean an effect like this?
View.Set("graphics:max;max")
for decreasing n : 31 .. 16
    colourback (n)
    cls
    delay (50)
end for
Otherwise, for the entire screen of the monitor, that is out of Turing's power.
For colours (or an improved version of mine!) you need to use the RGB module. 
It would be very difficult if you're planning on using it for an RPG (with imported pictures) and have a screen-fading effect.

yes i do mean the entire monitor  :shock: 

i want to make a joke program that says it gonna delete the window's folder, and shows it does , then say cannot detect window's folder, etc then say "shutdown computer?" then have "yes" as the only answer and have the screen fade like real shutting down prompting so it looks real.

making this as an april fools joke for on friend (and yes i know its way early). but im planning on perfecting it, so im starting early   :roll:

Yeah... we don't exactly encourage those kinds of programs, especially since it's impossible to tell exactly how they will be used, so next time don't ask.

In any case, Turing can't do this, and you wonder why...  Well, it doesn't have access to the Windows API...  Why's that?  Well, so that students can't mess around with their school computers, or do something like what you propose.
