Select a HAM8 gfx mode in your paint program.

Scandoublers that don't support 24 bits produce incorrect colors in ALL AGA modes.

Even if you have a 16 color workbench on your A1200, the 24-bit precision is constantly being used to show the correct 16 colors all the time.

So would I need something like a Mediator and PCI graphics card to get 24 bit color on the A1200?

For what you are trying to do, paint and desktop publish in 16 million colors then the answer is yes.  That is how I do it btw.

What advantages do AGA offer?

You already have AGA so its main advantage is that it is free.

If you add a mediator + PCI gfx card then you still have your AGA gfx modes.  But in addition you have PC gfx modes.
