Thomson
The most known display modes from Thomson computers (very popular in France) are 320×200, with 8×1 attribute cells with 2 colours. The TO7 can only display the 8 "saturated" colors. The TO7/70 and MO5 have the 16 color palette shown below as a fixed palette (just like on C64 or MSX1). On later models, these 16 colours can be chosen from 4096 and other video modes are available, removing the block constraints but reducing either the color count or the horizontal resolution.
