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.
