More likely EGA or VGA with 16 or 256 available colors. CGA was only 4 and the colors were chosen by someone who really liked pink.

Still, there was probably some video mode somewhere that only had 8 colors.

Edit: I didn’t know teletype was not PC related. TIL.

This is not pc-related though. Teletext was information pages transmitted on UK terrestrial (analogue) television channels in the long-distant past.

The BBC closed Ceefax in 2012. If that’s the long distant past then my date of birth suggests I’m an antique…

In your defence it never came to Canada.

I made that pic myself in a teletext editor, so it’s genuine teletext, not made to look like it.
