Well, if we bring back the CGA topic:

And for fun since it looks way more purple than I recalled, EGA with better colors:

Not even gonna bother with VGA since it'd look exactly the same as the original =P

If you're going to post the CGA RGBI image after we talked so much about composite color, I basically feel obliged to post something generated via reenigne's converter:

Well, my CGA comment was about that palette I used. It was you guys who somehow thought I was talking about composite artifacts =/ (also why is the contrast so low on that pic...?)

One reworked concept screen and this may-be-game became port ready :mrgreen:


EDIT:

Here's a comparison of four possible ntsc outcomes (too large to post) with a new palette colour for mountain reflection and deep shades. It is a bit more vague and flat, but i think the relationship is a lot more stable. In the worst case scenario according this test and my taste, the shade is at least colder without turning teal.

The other option i think is viable is doing it pitch black, but there's already so much of that going on.
