You don't even need to use dual-playfield for this... just use one bitplane
for Intuition and arrange your colors so that bitplane is always ignored. Then
you can do dual-playfield as well, giving you an extra 4 colors (albeit
expensive ones). I really wish there was a 2+4 or 1+5 dual-playfield mode as
well as the regular 3+3.
