  But some of us had EGA or VGA in that era. In fact, some of the screenshots in the article shows more than 4 colors.

  Composite CGA is 16 color.

    Composite CGA was Tandy only. Can confirm stock CGA was 4 color, 4 different palettes which allowed IBM to claim "16 colors*"

      Nope. All CGA cards supported a composite 16-color mode with reduced horizontal resolution. You're thinking of the PCJr and Tandy specific modes which support higher resolutions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_Graphics_Adapter#With_a_composite_color_monitor/television_set https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_Graphics_Adapter#With_a_...

        That’s text mode with graphics characters.
