It has the same color palette as ZX Spectrum. Even the color codes are the same, and I remember them by heart. 1 - blue, 2 - red, 3 - magenta, 4 - green, 5 - cyan, ... [0]
Ha! You noticed it! :-D
I memorized it as 1=blue, 2=red, 4=green and then you add the numbers to make the combinations. So magenta is red+blue so it's 1+2 = 3 and cyan is blue+green with is 1+4 = 5.
And white is 1+2+4 = 7. Wow, it makes so much sense now.
Yes, this is very Spectrum-like, basically lifted the font, I guess. No colour-clash though, it seems.
I've been on both the ZX Spectrum Next Kickstarters, and I'm loving it.
