Googling a screenshot is almost impossibruu but Ultima 6 on EGA was half-decent.

 
On CGA though, pink!

Sierra actually totally nailed EGA.

Their background pictures were not actually 16 colors only. Their background pictures contained way more than 16 colors. In fact almost 256 colors. They just ran a dithering pass on them.

 
upper one is the dithered background picture
lower one is the same background picture just w/o the dithering pass

I used to think the reason early CGA games made such poor use of the meagre four colours available to them was because they were all designed by artless nerds with thick, coke-bottle glasses. While that may be true, it's still only half the story.

Since most PCs at the time were connected to television sets instead of RGB monitors, clever developers would take advantage of imperfections in the TV-out to mix colours directly on the display device. Dithered black and magenta, for example, could be smeared into either solid red or solid blue, with which one you got coming down to the specific dithering pattern used.

Here's the title screen from Ultima II, courtesy of Wikipedia's article on artifact colours:

so everybody (even gens younger than me, casuals too) is out there in sun playing a new pokemon game from nintendo (a mobile game) ... and the other half is blasting blink 182's new album, which also went n.1 and displaced Drake's new album to n.2 position. uuuuuuuummmmmmmmmm
