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]], [[Game Boy Advance]], and [[Nintendo GameCube]] with [[Game Boy Player]] are compatible with all original Game Boy and Game Boy Color games.
