VICE Palettes
If you look at paletes files in VICE they look like that
#
# VICE Palette file: PALette_C64_v1
#
# Syntax:
# Red Green Blue Dither
#
# Black
00 00 00 0
# White
FF FF FF F
# Red
8C 32 3D 5
# Cyan
66 BF B3 A
What is that Dither value, and how is it used? |

Seems not used anymore, from the old VICE documentation:
Quote:
4.3 Palette files
Palette files are used to specify the colors used in the emulators. They are made up of lines like the following:
RED GREEN BLUE DITHER
where RED, GREEN and BLUE are hexadecimal values ranging from 0 to FF and specifying the amount of red, green and blue you want for each color and DITHER is a 4-bit hexadecimal number specifying the pattern you want when rendering on a B/W display.
New vpl files don't have such 4th element. |

That value wasn't used for literally decades. In the dark ages, when displays had 16 colors, this was supposed to be used for dither patterns. I don't think it ever worked, at least i never saw code for this. |
