Atari ST

Just a small thing, but worth including the STe in the ST section? (Same standard palette size, given that we're not discussing capabilities granted by programming tweaks e.g. Spectrum 512 or Photochrome, but with a 4096-entry lookup). The illustrative pictures could be copied verbatim from the 4- and 16-colour (2- and 4- bitplane) Amiga entries as it gives exactly the same result.

Only standard hardware palettes, no tweaks here (see disclaimer in the article's summary). Images for 4- and 16-color Amiga and ST not the same: Atari ST has 8 levels per RGB channel, while Amiga has 32 levels per channel. But output is almost identical, visually.

Texas Instruments TI-99/4(A)

This page should have a section available for the color palette of the Texas Instruments TI-99/4 line, as it uses the TMS-9918A video display processor also used in the MSX. Even the Tomy Tutor shares the same VDP chip. WikiPro1981X (talk) 15:55, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect images

See here: List_of_16-bit_computer_hardware_palettes#ST_series

The first two colour images for Atari ST seem to be MSX images, the third monochrome is indeed Atari ST hires.
There's also an AppleIIgs image in the Amiga section.

I looked back on archive.org and they always seem to have been like this. Mattsephton (talk) 23:27, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

As we say here, {{sofixit}}. So I've boldly removed the 'wrong' images. ◦ Trey Maturin 15:37, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Can 32-bit section be on this page?

Yes, because the lead section says "Due to mixed-bit architectures, the n-bit distinction is not always a strict categorization." — BZAW31559 (talk) 03:38, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 8 May 2019

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page.

The result of the move request was: BZAW31559 BZAW31559 (talk) 03:42, 8 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong name, moving the page: List of 16-bit computer hardware palettes → List of 16-bit computer hardware graphics; change “palettes” to “graphics” in the wording after “computer hardware”.

Report false positives; I moved the page from List of 16-bit computer hardware palettes to List of 16-bit computer hardware graphics by changing „palettes“ to „graphics“ wording.

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

Abandoned user draft

Please would an interested editor assess the tables added at the (blocked) user page User:BZAW31559/List of 16-bit computer hardware graphics, incorporate anything useful, blank the remaining page content as WP:FAKEARTICLE, and leave a note here when done? – Fayenatic London 20:37, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
