It's mode 6, I just BLOADed screen data originally saved in mode 4 (thus the text).
Yeah, it's interesting about the different order - see also how the text is affected: when it's in black and white (which are on two opposite corners of the square), the edge artifacts will correspond to the other two corners (purple/green on the Apple, light blue/orange on the CGA).
