To put it in computer terms, your PC when set to 24-bit color, has
16.7 million colors available in its palet. With 16-bit color, it
has 64k (65536) colors available. The 2600, with its 7-bit palet,
has only 128 colors available.
The TV is capable of producing millions of colors, but the 2600 can
only tell it to produce a subset of 128.
