Which colors to use on 2600 as C=64-Blue?

[Simon]

Which colors would you recommend for using as most close to the two standard C=64 blue-colors? I want to use them in my game "Mental Kombat" and need the color-codes for NTSC and PAL.

 

Thanks for your help,

From the Stella mailing list:

 

"It is simply 16 cropped and connected screenshots of colors.bin running on

Mac Stella, with the odd numbered colors (which Mac Stella erronously

displays) removed. As such, its accuracy is limited to however acurate

Mac Stella is."

 

You can probably find colors.bin and run it on an emulator that supports PAL color (like PCAEWin) to get the PAL colors.

Hi and thanks for your answer. I'm playing with colors in an emulator since months and I wanted to get suggestions on which colors to use as c64-blue, because there are many possible codes for blue and none of them fits totally.

 

The PAL and NTSC-colors are totally different. At the moment I use something in the $8x range as NTSC-blue and something like $Dx as PAL-blue. I don't have the exact value in my head right now...

 

Any *suggestions* for the "perfect" code?

I fiddled with it a bit. I guess I'd say:

 

NTSC:

$86 Blue

$8E LtBlue

 

PAL:

$D6 Blue

$DE LtBlue

 

Commodore Colors
