Color palette (Generations I–II): Difference between revisions

The [[Game Boy Color]], [[Game Boy Advance]], and [[Nintendo GameCube]] with [[Game Boy Player]] are compatible with all original Game Boy and Game Boy Color games. Like the Super Game Boy, the color palettes consist of 4 entries for {{wp|List_of_video_game_console_palettes#Game_Boy_Color|15-bit RGB color values}}. But unlike the Super Game Boy, these systems are incapable of displaying the Super Game Boy's color palettes, and instead utilize their own predefined color palettes for colorizing monochrome Game Boy games.

The Game Boy Color's method of colorization is also different than that of the Super Game Boy. Whereas the Super Game Boy colorizes different sections of the screen with up to 4 color palettes, the Game Boy Color applies color directly to the original Game Boy's three tone palettes. As a result, this method allows for sprites and backgrounds to contrast on screen more vividly than on previous systems.
