Title: 16 Colours in Mode 2?

Interview with Christophe Lajoux author of the game "Infernal House". In it he states 16 colours were used in Mode 2 screens. How is this possible?

Lots of carefully timed colour switching! Basically what he explains in the next paragraph.

not color cycling, color spliting. You change the indexed color during the refresh, each frame at the same position. This need a very precise code where everything is precisely timed.

I typed in a program (http://www.cpc-power.com/index.php?page=detail&num=12282) from CPC-Infos which had all 26 colours in Mode 2 with each line having its own colour.
