Just caught this: the CGA's composite output undoubtedly displays color 6 as yellow, NOT brown. Why would the composite output follow the RGB output in all colors but one? The composite output colors are almost nothing like the RGB output! Have you seen one? A few of the colors are the same, but the …

So, the facts are: we are seeing a picture of a 5153 that is yellow. Most 5153 are brown. How can this be explained? How about a camera's white balance being off? Diffuse ambient light? Or, most likely, a miscalibrated monitor? If you have followed the discussion so far, the hypothesis has been …

Does anyone on the forum own a 5153 that they can test with the calibration program I posted last night? I'm trying to figure out a way to prove to NewRisingSun that it really is brown short of inviting the guy over to my house (although if he lives close to Chicago he's welcome to do so). I own 5 ( …

I can't find either my DV camera OR my digital camera right now... dammit. When I find either one, I'll come up with a demonstration (as well as the 16-color composite palette). Anyway, please trust me, I've been around CGA for over two decades. On a real stock IBM CGA, connected to a real 5153, …

Digger alone is not enough. I will shoot a video showing the full 16-color palette, then I'll run Digger and show how it flashes palettes, and how throughout it all, #6 is brown (except the high-intensity palette). Did you once display all 16 colors at the same time and calibrate the monitor?

Sorry, but I own several 5153s and color 6 is definitely brown, not yellow. Digger is a bad example to look at because the game flashes between the RGB low-I and RGB High-I palettes during gameplay. It's brown, and if people doubt that I guess I'll have to take some screenshots. I've owned true IBM …
