     @LordCaramac never thought about it in 32 bit colors or anything I’ll have to mess with that

     @TengoHipo Forget what I said, it looks horrible in CGA. It does, however, look good in 32 colours, could be from some Commodore Amiga demo.

     @TengoHipo This looks an awful lot like early 1980s IBM PC CGA colours, maybe you should try converting it to 320x200 in 4 colours, 2-bit colour palette. Just plain white, magenta, cyan, black #ffffff #ff00ff #00ffff #000000

     Most people in offices didn't have the luxury of a colour screen though (if they even had a CGA card installed and not just an MDA card that couldn't do any graphics at all, just plain ASCII text) and had to look at their pie charts in four shades of green or amber instead. I wonder if CGA palette 0 (white, magenta, cyan) with background colour 0 (black) as the IBM CGA default was responsible for the use of these colours in so many futuristic airbrush posters of the day, or if that was just parallel evolution.

     @LordCaramac that’s pretty wild and a lot of new information to me. That’s awesome man thanks for the history lesson on it.

     @TengoHipo It is an indexed colour palette, which is how many (but not all) graphics systems on 1980s and early 1990s microcomputers worked. You have a list containing a number of colours called the palette, and the colours in the palette can sometimes use up to 24 bits (8 per primary colour), but the individual pixels use much fewer bits since they don't encode the actual colour of the pixel but just its colour index number. This is pretty neat because it means that you can use the same image for different purposes by just changing its palette, or even create pseudo-animation by using colour cycling.

     @TengoHipo Not 32 Bit colours. 32 colours. Just 32 unique individual colours, a 5 Bit palette.
