* CPC palette is a 3x3x3 RGB cube that can be stretched into 5x5x5 RGB cube via ditherings or fast colour swap (flashouille).

* While some mixes of colours are supposed to produce the same colour (in theory), the properties of pixels and the variation of their percieved size depending on their intensity or the number of luminophores used to produce a colour may give actual slight and subtle differences. May also vary from one machine or screen to another, or between PLUS range and CPC classic range.
== Other systems using the same palette ==
*The Toshiba [[PASOPIA 7]] is known to feature the same 3-values RGB palette as the Amstrad CPC, its video mdoes modes are different than Amstrad CPC's ones thoughand the colours may be produced via fine ditherings. * Many Japanese machines had some 640x200(x8colours) video modes with the basic RGB 8 colour palette that would actually display some 320x200(x27 colours) video mode on real screen via ditherings, the 27colours being the 3x3x3 RGB cube from AmstradCPC. Check NEC PC80xx machines.
