Dithering is amazing. I built a display to show my calendar:

When testing it out, I tried to show a grayscale image, because the display supports four tones, but it came out horrible. Then I displayed a dithered two-tone image (black and white) and it was much, much better:

I wonder if there are any arbitrary-palette dithering algorithms that I could try, it would be great to be able to use the other two tones and still dither.
