I think it's close, but I've never compared. My current Coco has a CM-8 and it's been since the 90s when I used a color TV. I should be able to test this myself in a week or 2 when I get the system going again as there's a Color TV (CRT) sitting right here beside my desk. But until I get the Coco running again (bad keyboard), I have to rely on VCC.

Well if you want to take a subjective opinion, the VCC colors in CMP mode look 
essentially exactly the same as the colors on an Amdek Color-1 (CMP) monitor.

It is necessary to make minor adjustments in brightness, contrast, color, and 
tint on the Amdek to get the closest match.

That probably won't help you decide which colors to use in your own programs so 
they appear identical on CMP and RGB monitors.
