Secret colours of the Commodore 64
This overlooks a key detail, namely interlacing. The C64 wasn&#x27;t producing 60 frames per second, but rather 60 <i>fields</i>: sets of odd or even scanlines. So on the CRT TVs of the time, you&#x27;d get one colour on the odd scanlines, and another on the even scanlines. Scanline striping, essentially.
