The color NeXTStation actually had 4096 colors, dithered by Display Postscript to approximate more colors. 12 bit color and a 4 bit alpha channel.

- alblue 6y agoWhoops! Yes, you’re right. I had misremembered its colour depth, but I recall it was bigger than the 256 colors of the VGA displays of the time. Unfortunately I can’t go back and edit the original post to fix. Thanks for correcting me!
- mgoetzke 6y agoAnd the dithering was wicked fast. I remember playing back multiple videos on NextSTEP fully dithered and quite good looking where the same machine (dual boot setup Intel P90) had huge issues even playing back one video.
