    You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
    That dithering is surprisingly effective.

    It was successful at making me see green in the grass, until I zoomed in and saw that it's just black and yellow pixels.

    I think that's because we are told "grass is green" when it is in fact sometimes rather yellow-ish. Inspecting the RGB values in the true-color Bliss image may help make sense of the situation.

    now I'm wondering if there were any DOS programs that could paint in 350-line mode, using the full 64-color palette. I know there were 256-color VGA paint programs.

    You couldn't use all 64 colors at once in EGA mode, though. Pick any 16
