No, on a color composite video monitor or analog RGB display. It's impossible to display more than 16 colors on an IBM-CGA-compatible monitor or 64 colors on an Enhanced Color Display: the RGB signals are digital, not analog, and there are only 4 separate inputs (or 6, for the ECD). -- /Steve Dyer {harvard,seismo}!bbnccv!bbncc5!sdyer sdyer@bbncc5.ARPA
