I didn't think that these color pallets were that well remembered after all these years.

Now how about this one?
The marked top-left colour is transparent.

I got the first two OK...bit rusty on the Apple II, however this one stumped me. I wasn't aware of any palettes that had transparency. I had to do some research and I found it. ;^) I can't claim it though, as I didn't know it.

I know of a graphic chip that has one of its 16 colors set aside as transparent, but I will allow others to guess.

Having seen a few of its games in action, is it the TI99 palette?
