Thanks for the info. I haven't understood why CGA 16-color palette is
different than terminal 16-color palette, but I will try and find out.

Another thing: what does NR-16 and NR-8 mean? I can't find these terms
on the internet. Every hit I get is in the context of Vim.

P.S. In the thread-top email, I mistakenly wrote "16-bit terminals"
instead of "16-color terminals." I hope that didn't cause confusion.
