Not so. There was some slight artifacting that was even weirder. :-)

Where you'd on NTSC would have solid blue or reddish fields, on a PAL they
would show a pattern of broad alternating vertical bands of pale green and
pale blue. It's hard to describe. I had some pictures on coco3.com of it
once, but these are now gone.
