Comparing C64 to CPC

/* Comparing CPC and C64 */
* The CPC can do overscan and any pixels can be shown here, the C64 can do it but it's more processor intensive and only sprites can be displayed in this area. (The C64 can open the lower and upper border with much less processor time, it takes much more time to open the side borders).
 
==Palette comparison==
 
Amstrad has a palette of 27 colours formed by mixing 0, "half" or "full" of R,G,B. The colours are vibrant.
The Amstrad's palette however is lacking in browns and greys. The colours themselves are consistent between machines.
 
The C64 has a palette of 16 colours. The colours were chosen by the designers. It has a couple of greys and some browns.
The colours appear different on NTSC and PAL due to the way these transmit their colour signals, and in addition the colour is not always the same between machines.
 
Both have a good range of colours that can produce great pictures.
