 | | For instance, the Genesis has 8x8 tiles which use 16 colors from one of 4 palettes each, which would be 64 colors, except that the 16th is a "transparent" color that is the same for all 4. |
 | | Therefore, one sprite may use one set of 16 colors, and another a different set, hiding the limitations of the 16 color limit. |
 | | The actual size of the BG can be much larger than the display area of the TV screen, allowing scrolling, etc. As with sprites, there is also a set of 16 palettes, each with 16 colors for use with BG characters. |
