Which one? The listed palette looks nothing like the screenshot on the same page.

Notably, there's no way that light blue for example (which is the default font and border), nor the dark blue (which is the default background).

The screenshot is how I remember the C64, and consistent with other screenshots and photos. The listed hex codes are far off.

The one posted by the person you responded to is a bit muted, but the relative colors seems closer to what I'd expect.

Interesting. I have the pixel art book Pepto refers to, it is very nice.

On my screen that doesn't match videos of actual C64's on actual CRT's. (It also doesn't match my memory of them, but that's a whole lot less reliable)

I would actually find it surprising if it did match videos of actual C64s on actual CRTs, because of the many conversion layers.

		Videos of actual C64's on actual CRT's are pretty consistent other than brightness, though, so if it doesn't at least somewhat match those, the model is broken.
