EGA Plus Palette
What if there was a transitional graphics card between EGA and VGA period? This 24 color EGA+ palette adds 8 new colors to the standard 16 of EGA, the hardware of which only supported thirds of the RGB values (1/3, 2/3), utilizing also sixths (e.g. 1/6, 3/6), keeping a kind of symmetry. The additions are 4 muted colors for shading without resorting to heavy dithering and 4 vibrant essential hues that were notably missing from EGA, like orange-likes, sky blue and a more natural skin tone. The first 16 colors are identical in order to the standard palette of MSDOS for compatibility. Note that the additions selected are not in the extended EGA 64 palette and the full extension of this scheme using all variations of sixths would add up to 343 hypothetical colors.#egaplus on BSKY MSTDN INSTA X
