Here is a short program that displays color wheels for the different color memory modes. There are 4 wheels which together cover most of the color gamut for each color memory mode.
It is interesting and instructive to see how the wheels change as you move from 8 to 12 and then 16-bit color. Whereas 8-bit color shows the expected color quantization and some false contouring, by the time you get to 16 bits the color shading is almost completely smooth and free from false contours.
No surprises there, and of course 8 bits is plenty for almost all games.

Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.
