The , also known as the , is a widely used system for representing colors in digital displays. It utilizes three primary colors, namely red, green, and blue, to create a vast array of colors. Each primary color is assigned an intensity value ranging from 0 to 255, resulting in a total of 16,777,216 possible color combinations. This model allows for easy representation of colors using a , which is a six-digit alphanumeric representation of the RGB values. A begins with a hash symbol (#) followed by a combination of three pairs of hexadecimal digits, representing the red, green, and blue intensities respectively. The , measured in bits per pixel, determines the number of unique colors that can be displayed on a monitor. A higher color depth allows for a more accurate and diverse representation of colors, while a lower color depth limits the color gamut available for display.
