Well, I got curious and looked into this a bit. Using the semi-canonical
RGBI reference colors:

(element value) = (color bit * 170) + (intensity bit * 85)

with the special case for color 6 (dark yellow/brown) where green
intensity is halved, and the color-averaging function:

(average) = sqrt(((a * a) + (b * b)) / 2)

I identified 122 unique "composite" colors. For cases where multiple
color pairs yield the same "composite" RGB value, the lowest-contrast
pairing has been preferred, and the subjectively brighter color is
kept in the left pixel to minimize luma "noise." The table, sorted by
approximate luminance:
