Thanks you for indulging me. This issue is more subtle than I thought. I 
updated my lores colors page to show Linards Ticmanis' calculated colors 
in addition to the KEGSMAC emulator's rendering.

I have a clear memory of the NTSC video red being a dark shade, as 
Linards suggests. I have no idea why the Applesoft manual calls it 
"magenta," which I identify with a secondary color having sRGB 
components (0xFF00FF). Of course, the html rendering is itself a 
function of the monitor's calibration.
