Better version. Remember CGA white != white. As you said, colour palette from hell.

no! please don't remind me of CGA. For the love of color don't post anymore CGA.

B.t.w. wasn't there another palette that was even worse? Like background, green, red, orangy-brown kind of worse?

Hm, this thread has turned into an art class. Behold the second palette. EGA was a mistake, and it got worse from there.

What normal people call "white" CGA called "bright white", but you'd need the "bright" palette to use it, or use it as the background. But then you can't have black.
Allow me to demonstrate.

Less clear do to more dither, but better colouring. Not exactly the point of this thread, I know.

Thanks, Now I'm wanting a wallpaper changer that'll retro-fy my walls on the fly so I can have a retro month or something.... Running a Photoshop batch process will take the better part of the afternoon :\

I don't remember any 1600x1200 CGA... it was 320x200x8... and those 8 were fixed.

Trying everything under the sun to upload an example, but "Upload failed" is a useless error msg...

Board minimum is 800x600.

That, and CGA pixels are nonsquare. CGA was 320x200, but the screen was 4:3. Resizing to 1600x1200 does the trick exactly.

Yeah huh? One that automatically chooses the best palette for the picture... how many possibilities are there? 2 palettes * 2 intensity settings * 16 background colours per palette... would it be doable?

Because with purple hair and cyan uniform she's the ideal target.

There you go. Note that you really can't have black and white together in this palette - who thought of that?

I'm getting nostalgic. More CGA-looking wallpapers, please.

Bright with a black background this time.

Having both white & black really is more convenient; the other palette is really hard to use. If I had designed the palettes (given the constraints of the time) I might have put black and white in both palettes, and two colours that appear in a lot of pictures (and the background of course). Why did they do it like they did?
