I recently installed the MESS emulator and by accident chose the Japanese
version of the Commodore 64. I was amazed that the colors of the start
screen were different (white and blue instead of light blue and
blue). Also that it had just 36862 bytes free.

Some Google results suggest it had a different kernal, key mappings and
other. But I cannot see why this causes the quite "big" difference in
free bytes to the US (and probably all other countries) version.

And why are the colors different?
