Also, bearing in mind that in 32K colour modes the actual data is correct.
It's just the display that is wrong.

You can demonstrate this by switching to a 32K screen mode and witnessing
the weird colours, then grabbing the screen using !Paint or something and
switching back to a 'normal' mode. The screengrab will still display the
correct colour palette etc (and not the weird colours), highlighting that
it's only the visual display that's swapped. RISC OS sees the actual pixel
data as correct.
