IMO its pretty darn good in 16 colors, I ran my 8500 in insane resolutions in 16 colors for a little bit, you want some crap try windows (even as early as 3.11) in 16 colors, its more like 6 colors and dithering hit the wall full speed so they did not bother

though if you like neon red blue yellow and 3 gray vomit then windows in 16 colors would be for you
