COLBAK
A logical OR is done to the colors of players 0/1 and 2/3 when they overlap. Only the 0/1, 2/3 combinations are allowed; you will not get a third color when players 1 and 3 overlap, for example (you will get black instead).
You can also use this location to select one of GTIA GRAPHICS modes nine, ten, or eleven.
