I'm emulating Windows 3 in DOSBox and I've noticed that the color palette is washed out. Here is a side-by-side comparison of a screenshot I found online (left), and the colors I'm getting now (right). Notice the green background of Solitaire on the left is less-saturated. This is true for several other colors as well.
I've tried switching the Windows display driver to plain VGA and VGA 3.0 and also setting DOSBox to vgaonly, but I still get these washed out colors.
Back in the early 1990s, I was using Windows 3.0, and I'm pretty confident it used the colors seen on the left. However, I'm now running Windows 3.11 For Workgroups in DOSBox, so maybe this is the correct color scheme and I just don't know it.
Either way, I would like to get the colors back to how I remember them. Any one know if it's possible? Thanks!
