On an NES, the palette color $0D causes the signal to drop below the normal black level. This low voltage signal is sometimes mistaken by televisions for blanking signals, which can cause an unstable picture, or total picture loss on some devices. Other devices seem to process with signal without problem.

Effects
Because the signal created by $0D is outside the specifications for the video signal, there is a lot of variation in . Here are some possible effects that may be seen when using $0D:
- $0D appears the same black as the other black colors (e.g. $0F).
- $0D appears slightly darker than other blacks.
- The device renormalizes the range when $0D appears, slightly brightening all other colours while it is onscreen.
- Wobbly or distorted image from loss of horizontal blanking stability.
- Total loss of picture.
Tests
- Palette test ROM - Displays NES palette, and can toggle $0D display.
