I don't think that you can abuse the color registers for storing
arbitrary data since there are likely some bits in the register that
are not implemented in hardware (either tied to zero or random when you
read them back). We likely just lack the masking of the color registers
in Falcon mode in Hatari, that's why it's working by accident there.
