1-bit & perception of dithering/print can be quite quite fascinating really. I actually had to double-check the dither post process shader I wrote half-way through the week because I thought a bug had crept & I was outputting more than two colours ; but no, that was just an illusion & it fooled me too.

We also experimented with different colour pairs before sticking with this one (inspired by the Playdate display), which were interesting but ended up giving the illusion of three colours (dark purple & off-white is a good example which gives off the illusion of an additional yellow colour)
Anyway, thanks for playing & for the kind words!
