Would the colors be palette-based, like on the NES, or do you mean 16 possible colors total? That said, the project seems interesting. I will probably read through the topic later.

i think 256 color spectrum is unnecessary. remember, this is just a calculator. what would you use 256 different colors for? i'm thinking that using a byte, you can use 4 bits for intensity and the other 4 bits for color specification. that way you get 16 colors at 16 different shadings.

i really don't have any expertise in this field though, so maybe what i just said isn't possible. regardless, i'm thinking 8 or 16 colors would work.
That is 256 colors, just so you know ;)
only 16 unique  ;)
I think you are thinking of hues.

I am a bit confused what you mean

Someone will probably have to explain this in more details at one point, probably on the Wiki site if created

I think we'll want something with lower specs than the beagleboard-I just took a look at the specs. Keep in mind this is a calculator.

this is a hue. imagine this is a light blue. it is a different color, but not a different hue than the previous text.

this is an entirely different hue. this dark red is not a different hue than the previous text, but it is a different color because of its darker nature. this change in darkness is called "value"

this is a different hue and a different color.

i *think* i have it right.

probably but, maybe rechargeable AA bateries?

Color:  Red + Yellow + Blue,,,

so many colors avalible.
Red+blue=purple
red + Yellow = orange.
and so on.

could we do a grayscale type thing with a 4 bit color system.
SO we could have a pattern of quick switching between blue and yellow so it looks green?

We could do it like the nspire: AA batteries and an optional rechargeable. There should also be an option to recharge AAs by plugging the thing in to a usb port.
