HiRes mode generates a screen with resolution 320x200 pixels/16 colors. The screen is divided into 40x25 attribute cells. Each attribute cell is 8*8 pixels big. In this mode you can use maximum 2 colors in one attribute cell. It means that you can set color of background, and color of foreground (pixel color). This mode isn't very popular, although it's possible to paint very nice pictures in it. Even if nowadays artists use this mode they rarely use more than 2 colors in the picture. Description abbreviated from Studiostyle.sk.
