ZX Spectrum Graphic Modes - 3colour / Multichrome / RGB-3 / Interchrome

3colour / Multichrome / RGB-3 / Interchrome

Three separate images, comprising a red, green and blue layer, are displayed on the screen rapidly, one after the other, relying on persistence of vision effects to merge the three layers into a single coloured image. The result is an 8-colour image where each pixel may be coloured independently.

This effect is simulated in another image linked to here (warning: the linked image flashes colors very rapidly, which could potentially cause seizures in people with photosensitive epilepsy); the flashing is less noticeable when viewed on a television screen.

Details:
Pixels: 256 x 192
