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:
“Long before Einstein told us that matter is energy, Machiavelli and Hobbes and other modern political philosophers defined man as a lump of matter whose most politically relevant attribute is a form of energy called “self-interestedness.” This was not a portrait of man “warts and all.” It was all wart.”
—George F. Will (b. 1941)
“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)
