When I made Glider in color for the first commercial release, I used only the 16 colors of the Macintosh palette - I guess to keep the performance up, memory footprint down.
There was a good deal of experimenting with hand-dithering to get more muted colors — like maybe a checkerboard pattern of brown & grey to get a mustier-looking wood.
