The following platforms use a 3-bit RGB palette: Though of European design, it breaks with tradition and uses the order BGR. The Colour Maximite is a hobby computer developed in 2012. The SECAM version of the Atari 2600 uses it due to an artifact of how its display chip produced color, and the Sinclair QL used this order to match the first half of the 16-color palette of its predecessor, the ZX Spectrum. Two European platforms did use this color scheme, but neither based it on the Japanese standard. Each subsequent NEC computer model maintained the color order for backward compatibility, and the later Sharp X1 and FM-8 home computers followed their lead. They probably were not familiar with the existing European standard since it was still only used by European broadcasters and wasn't used in a European home computer until 1981.

When Japan first introduced their color home computers with the NEC-8000 series in 1979, they used the order BRG. The first European color teletext machines used it, and, when European companies started developing home computers, it was only natural for them to follow the existing standard.

It was first standardized by the European Computer Manufacturers Association in 1976 and was designed for transmitting information across color TV signals. This is the oldest 3-bit RGB color palette used in computers. TELETEXT is a one-way, or non-interactive, system for transmission of text and graphics via broadcasting or cable for display on a television set. From a binary standpoint, there are six possible orders, RGB, RBG, GRB, GBR, BRG, and BGR, however, only two were ever common: RGB in European countries and BRG in Japan. Although the same eight colors are used in every 3-bit RGB color palette, the order in which they're presented is different on various platforms.
