When opening old games in Windows 7 and above you are able to set compatibility settings like 16 bit colours. I don't see a way to do this here.
Is it possible?

It is not possible with Wine directly. You could in Linux run a nested X session in a window at a different color depth. The Wine wiki has an old guide on how to do this, not sure how possible it is anymore. https://wiki.winehq.org/256_Color_Mode
On Mac, you'd need to tell the built-in X server there to run at a different color depth.

If someone figures this out, we could always update our Wiki guide. Not something I've ever played with myself.
There is no builtin x server on macOS for many years now, also CrossOver for Mac is no longer built against x11 anyway.
