Well.... As there are only 16 Colours (8 normal and 8 Bright), you could store them all. However if you are going to do a spectrum like screen are you going to attrib clash? If so you could just remember which paper and Ink each char square is going to have, then pass what ever is in that square to a layer that then plots to the screen with the right colours.

Any advice you get really rally does depend on if you are going to fake the problems as well.

I don't want to slow the program right down to draw it in one colour, replace white with blue and so on

To be honest, thats what I would do
Either that, or make a single bit "Fake" screen, then plot that to the real screen with the right colours for each chr square
