/* Colours */
A notable specification of the Amstrad CPC palette is that it offers only one "Grey".
Compared to the C64 with...er...only greys..? well, almost 4 greys... (Humor inside)
This explains why in some games rocks and stone are coloured in other shades to get a good colour layer with more than 3 shades (black, grey and white).
It was a bit of a shame that some of its colours were almost identical...
 
Also, the so called "Pink" was often used to represent flesh...
 
Yet this colours was very hard to layer properly with other colours... It does not match with red, nor orange...
 
Mostly because it is in fact a kind of " red Grey" as seen in above's picture... Grey is not (as are Black and white) really a proper colour... sort of.
