Colors way off on RGB?

Zaxxon doesn't have color. It uses Black and White PMODE4.

The only reason you are meant to see reds and blues is because of the 
false colors that come from NTSC composite/RF video.

On RGB where the colors are true, black and white is all you'll see.

I think you have a patched version of Zaxxon with forces PMODE3. It this 
case, yes, the colors will be off and this is normal when the original 
game is patched to use a mode it wasn't meant for. The 4 colors of 
PMODE3 can be redefined on a CoCo3. Unfortunately, you are stuck with 
odd colors of a CoCo1/2.
