I just remembered this pong game on calcg.org, which claims to be the worlds first color game. It used the bluescale effect but managed to get a yellow paddle.

ah ok :)

well, it seems I do need an 84+SE for this to be awesome... Hmm.... maybe I can get $50 for my current calc + connectivity software and buy one off of ebay new for about $100 after I get my laptop, that is.

Yeah, I think that was made by Michael Vincent, actually.  Not sure if it works.  (It doesn't on Wabbit, anyway)

Even with blue and yellow it's still only a two-color screen :P
As for the blue in general, contrast changes cause a voltage spike. Causing that spike to keep occurring turns the screen blue. This is what Quigibo found elsewhere.
Edit: I've never gotten that program to work and have heard that it is difficult to get working.

If you use a high contrast, and flicker the screen like you're going for grayscale, you can get blue, black, and white.

You could prolly also get gray/ and/or darker blue by adding more levels of GS

This is what I managed to achieve just by changing the contrast. And yes, I know it's blurry. However, it is Bluish, as a check with any photo editing program will confirm.

Didn't it just set contrast extremly high? I remember tyring it on my 83+ and it was friggin hard to see anything.

That's a possibility. The blank screen looks kind of yellowish while the drawn screen is purplish if you lower the contrast a bit from above.
