From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.

The Game Boy Color is Nintendo's handheld gaming system which succeeded the earlier model. It was released on October 21, 1998 in Japan, in November, 1998 in North America, and 1999 in Europe. The main feature of this model, as the name says, is the color screen. The first Pokémon game to this handheld was the English version of Pokémon Yellow.

The processor, which is an 8080 work-alike with a few extra (bit manipulation) instructions, has a clock speed of approx. 8 MHz, twice as fast as that of the original Game Boy. The Game Boy Color also has four times as much memory as the original. The console boasted an impressive palette of 32,768 colors and was capable of simultaneously displaying 56 colors at once. It could also add basic four-color shading to games that had been released for the ordinary Game Boy.

The Game Boy Color was later succeeded by the Game Boy Advance.
