The TRS-80 Colour Computer supports only green/black or buff/black in high
resolution (256X192) mode (not the 8 colours stated in the comparison).
In the next best mode (128X192), you can use four different colours.

To get 8 colours, you have to use very low resolution (something like 64X64).

Despite the limited colour and resolution, it is still a good machine because
it has an excellent BASIC, with a lot of graphics functions that other
low-priced home computers lack. (Not that I like programming in BASIC...
I tend to write M6809 assembler on it)
