Imitating color artifacting of Apple II text mode in GIMP text tools
#3
Are we talking about some sort of pixel art here ?

You can work with a very small canvas size (like 20px for example), paint your image with a 1px sized brush, using the Pencil Tool to avoid antialiasing.
When ready, change the Image Mode to Indexed and use a limited number of colours (like 64 or 32 or whatever).
Then upscale the image to the desired size with Image -> Scale Image.

EDIT: i got it all wrong. Lets try this:

How about G'MIC -> Degradations -> Chromatic aberrations for a coloured haloeffect ?

This is what it looks like combined with the technique i described above.
Sans Font, 9px, upscaled.
