To be more specific, the NES/Famicom outputs its visuals as an NTSC video signal, which is then decoded by the TV. Different TVs handle this differently, which is why NES colors can change so much from setup to setup. In that case, the closest we can get to an "original intention" is mimicking the displays that developers used to make and playtest games.
Other systems display colors by assigning them to pure RGB values, which is why you don't see this with, say, SNES games.
