Is this how the specter GCR is supposed to look?

Honestly I haven't seen many pics of the specter gcr booted but mine is green red and yellow and I'm just wondering if that was normal?

Interesting - not seen this before...

The manual states https://archive.org/details/Spectre_GCR ... 3/mode/2up

You Probably Want:
♦ An Atari Computer: ST, Mega, ST E , or even Stacy
I'm just checking to see if you're still awake.
♦ A Monochrome Monitor
Is nice, but not absolutely essential. Basically, a monochrome monitor gives you an excellent, sharp, crisp, clean, 400-line display. A color monitor gives you a fuzzy, sometimes unreadable, 200-line display. Monochrome monitors cost between $90 and $150 at periodic sales (and check mail order), and Mark Sloatman at Practical Solutions can get you a neat little switch ("Monitor Master") for going between color and monochrome without swapping cables.
I did the best I could in color; there's just 200 lines missing from the display, and there's not much to be done about it. If you're running color, and you see Spectre in monochrome, you'll understand why I say this. Monochrome is far and away the best. We highly recommend it if you are going to do any kind of serious work with the Spectre.
The Spectre DOES NOT RUN COLOR MAC SOFTWARE IN COLOR. IT DOES NOT RUN COLOR MAC SOFTWARE AT ALL! That's the realm of the Mac II, which is a different CPU (68020), different architecture (NuBus slots), and a whole different ballgame.

Yes, perfectly normal on a colour monitor as it’s trying to interpolate the higher resolution using the colours as sub-pixels.
