This is what dithering does.  Running Win98 at 4-bit color and choosing 
another background color would probably give the same effect.  Some of 
their colors are 4-bit but most are not, so to approximate them you get a 
combination of at least two other colors.

Thanks to David Moberg who compiled what I packaged.
