I've always wondered if an RGBK 4-color palette could be used, using some kind of Bayer pattern of RGB for shades of gray. I primarily was thinking along those lines because the default CGA palettes are SO hideous. XD
It might be an eyesore, but it could theoretically reproduce all colors, with a custom dithering algorithm.
Maybe RGKW would work better?
@RL_Dane I've thought about that too, but it would require so much dithering the result would not be pleasant to look at, in my opinion
