Attribute clash (also known as color clash or bleeding) was a display artifact caused by limits in the graphics circuitry of a number of early color 8-bit home computers, most notably the Sinclair ZX Spectrum, where it meant that only two colors could be used in any area of 8×8 pixels. Programmer workarounds to prevent this limit from becoming apparent have since been considered an element of Spectrum user culture.

Famous quotes containing the words attribute and/or clash:
“Girls tend to attribute their failures to factors such as lack of ability, while boys tend to attribute failure to specific factors, including teachers’ attitudes. Moreover, girls avoid situations in which failure is likely, whereas boys approach such situations as a challenge, indicating that failure differentially affects self-esteem.”
—Michael Lewis (late–20th-century)
“When I am finishing a picture I hold some God-made object up to it—a rock, a flower, the branch of a tree or my hand—as a kind of final test. If the painting stands up beside a thing man cannot make, the painting is authentic. If there’s a clash between the two, it is bad art.”
—Marc Chagall (1889–1985)
