The PC I ever used was an Amstrad 8086 CGA, seeing the 4 colour palette 1 again made me super nostalgic. Somehow back then playing games with only black, white, magenta and cyan didn't bother me.

The Amstrad PC1512/PC1640 actually had this quirky 640x200x16 color mode. I only ever came across one piece of software except the bundled GEM that supported it though...
