First full color I saw on low end PC was 1987 demo on IBM Model 30. 8086 CPU. It used 128 out of 256 colors to hide the palette switch flash. It was a clip from National Geographic mammals and a classroom video. It was digitized using a laserdisc and at&t Targa16 to get one frame at a time. Was captured on a compaq 386/20 because IBM didn't have any micro channel capture cards. So IBM paid for the compaq. Video was in 320x200 mode since no higher 256 color modes on M30. It took SVGA cards to commonly see higher res 256 color modes. This wasn't dithered video, so looked pretty good.
