I've never noticed any issues with colours, but I'm using a 1084s. I also have an NTSC CD32, which is hooked up through s-video to the 1084s, and the colours are fine there as well. Unfortunately, the CD32 has the same issue with screen cropping in many PAL games. I have those compilation CDs, and I often have to use the startup menu to enable PAL not only when I start the disc, but also when I start the games themselves. Even then, some games are still cropped. A few others give out of memory errors in PAL mode.
The CD32 did get released in Canada, but I don't think many made it to store shelves in the U.S. because of Commodore going under.
What exactly does Degrader do? I was under the impression it was a software hack for reverting to old Kickstarts. It's my understanding that NTSC Agnus chips simply can't render the full 256 lines of resolution that PAL mode is supposed to have, although they can handle more than the standard 200. I believe the Akiko chip in the CD32 has similar issues.
