But I'm struggling to find any use for hi-res 4-color modes...
I'm struggling to recall any software with such an option, but can't...

GEM supported 4 col mode, if memory serves.
And early ISA graphics cards shipped with GEM drivers, too.
Ventura Publisher and Artline were GEM derived, too, I think.
