Some technical information: This is like a 32k colour sprite but with 
sprite type 10 and one extra bit of green. So, applications that 
cannot deal with them should normally fault them (unknown sprite 
type).

You may also want to consider whether you need any changes for 64k 
colour screen modes. They are distinguished from 32k colour modes by 
the "full palette" bit in the mode flags VDU variable. Again, one 
extra bit of green.
