Normally the C64 has a multicolor mode with 160x200 pixels and a hi-res mode with 320x200 pixels, both with very complex color restrictions, and a palette of 16 fixed colors. But as you see the picure resolutions are looking much higher and the pictures are look more colorful than 16-color graphics. For more information about C64 graphic modes take a look here.
Ah yes... the good old days...
There are several tricks to augment the number of colours though... (not easy...)
