What I found interesting was the rationale behind the 16 available colors. Black and white, RGB, CMY, gray, and dark versions of each outside of B&W. Makes so much sense, but I never thought of it that way.

What is CMY?
Cyan Magenta Yellow?
Looks better than windows 11
Garish yes, but it was great for color-blind people.
If you read the comments to Atwood's article, you'll see some speculation that it's actually great if you're color blind, and then you'll see that speculation debunked.
Here we see this scene from the story performed live on Lemmy.
As a color blind person, it’s not.
Ah, my sympathies then.
I dunno, I think some of these look pretty good. (via https://www.color-blindness.com/coblis-color-blindness-simulator/)
I used the black and white one in college.
My laptop screen was only black and white.
It also had a clip-on trackball as a mouse.
As a colour blind person, I'm pretty sure I used this for a while.
