I've finally burned an Eprom in order to run Eckhard test programs. The description of PAL colours that Eckhard sent some time ago seems quite accurate - perhaps 'gold' is more 'brown-gold' than 'gold' - but I think that finding accurate descriptions isn't so important. Instead, in order to write a multi-standard game, here are some things that I must understand: - Is the number of hues the same in PAL and NTSC, or does one of the two TV standards have more colours? - How can colors be mapped between the two systems, I mean can I write a table made of lines like: NTSC X (green) = PAL Y (the same green), or at least: NTSC X (green) = PAL Z (the PAL green nearest to NTSC green)?
