Abstract: In a method for the display of text on a screen of a television receiver, the digital data representing a received text are decoded to give, first, a list of characters to be displayed including at least one character and a color palette including at least one color, and second, a matrix of pixels associated with the list of characters to be displayed. Each element of the matrix of pixels defines the color of a corresponding point of the screen. To obtain a visual effect on at least one point of the screen, at least one color of the color palette is modified. The display method may be implemented in a television receiver.
