It was a bit of a shame that some of its colours were almost identical...
Only the later MSX specs series (2+ and 3...) did had more coloured palette... Yet at the time, the 4096 colours palette was even 16 bits standard, as good old Amiga and Atari STE (improoved version of Atari ST/STF...) did had 4096 colours palettes "only"...
This places the Amstrad plus range at second place in palette capability in 8 bit computers area...
Bested only by MSX 2+ and 3 series, and alongside TO8 thomson's computers...
Maybe the NEC PC Engine console was also better...as it had a 16 bit video co-processor...
