To see an example of dithering, change the screen properties to 16 colors and look at this page. The 8 colors in the above chart with only 00 and FF values will be clear. All the others will have very obvious dithering.

Here are the 16 non-dithering colors for a 16-color system, with "Windows Colors" names:
000000 Black FFFFFF White FF0000 Red FFFF00 Yellow 00FF00 Lime 00FFFF Aqua 0000FF Blue FF00FF Fuchsia
