PC Engine (TG16) games are so colourful! I wish more modern games use bright colours like they used to do. (lemmy.world)

Little bit of A, little bit of B. The sprites were also designed with CRT limitations in mind so they generally look better than they do on non-crt screens

Things like stippled dots or vertical lines especially would blur into each other making new colours or faking transparency.

Random video to demonstrate it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IthGu6Ysmpc

But if your TV was too good, you wouldn't get the effect as much.
