Hi,
Here's a program that sets the base 8 colors to a 'softer' version - much easier on the eyes!
It's Basic so you can change it to set your own favourite palette.
You run this program first and then run the game of your choice and it will automatically pick up this new palette until you power down.

Just had a thought (shocking I know!
), but how about creating colour 'profiles' for different games?
Not just softer colours but completely different pallette sets for alternative looks.

The supplied palette utility allows you to load and save palettes for just this reason.JonC wrote:how about creating colour 'profiles' for different games?
I've also included some example palettes within the ROM (under RFS) for the following games: Barbarian, Boffin, Commando, Crazee Rider, Firetrack, Fortress, Frak, Hunchback, Last Ninja, Match Day, Revs, Snapper, Snooker, Stryker's Run and Yie Ar Kung Fu.

An alternative is just to use composite video (with colour mod), then you get slightly muted colours by default
