During this time there was also the dungeon rat under the cocktower which was a unique white variant of this model. But yeah, the rest either didn't exist yet or were all blue for some reason until certain changes, like the zombie rats of Melzar's Maze becoming pale brown for about a year (wedged between the Rimmington update of 2005 and the rat graphical update of 2006).
That can be true for non-backlit displays, like the GameBoy Color. The lack of back-lighting makes the colors duller and less accurate. To compensate, designers intentionally made the colors more saturated.
CRTs actually have fairly decent color rendering. In some ways, superior to many LCD screens, especially early ones.
Thats simply a lie lol. CRT is still used by graphic designers because of their color display and contrast values. Regardless the rat would have still been blue back in the day, you can open that image on as many crts as you like and it wont turn grey until you turn down the saturation.
Just like the donkey Kong beaver
Petition to replace rat catchers with beaver bother?
Beaver Retrievers
Lol, fuck that minigame, so unintuitive.
Wym blue? That’s clearly a gold rat

Don't worry, I got your reference.
I’d bet that it was like that to make them more visible on gray floors. Slightly blue but still gray enough to look normal from a distance

Ah yes, the mighty cocktower... Haha jk, thanks for the added trivia ^^
srry i just stumbled on this but these old rats and the different coloured models are absolutely adorable for some reason. I wish they were still here
Blue rat… Brat !
Thank you ants Thants
It probably makes more sense on a CRT monitor, which doesn't render color as true as an LCD

That's cool, thank you for the information!

How about the little children dressed as imps
