Bry, you answered your own question.  The color isn't important, it's the repeating on/off pixels which cause the artifacts.  The artifacts may allow colors to be shown which aren't in the 7800 palette, or display more colors than the given 320 mode is capable of.

My understanding is that the 7800 already allows you to select a color for high-rez (320 mode) objects, so why generate a color through artifacting? (anyone know how high-rez works on the 7800?) You did it on the 800 because you only had 1 color for the whole screen.

Jindroush, I suspect even in B&W 320 mode alternating on/off pixels could cause artifacts.

Not if there's no colorburst. The TV would have no color reference information, and would treat the signal as B&W.
