The SAA5050 is certainly only 8-colour (plus attributes like flashing) and
as far as I know so are later teletext chips.

Take a look at the circuit diagram for a BBC micro; it uses a 6845 for
timing and an SAA5050 to generate the teletext screen mode.

XOR them together; feed the unbuffered TTL outputs to a 74LS86 or similar,
and buffer the output with a transistor.
