RGB

RU: RGB

Red-Green-Blue colour encoding. Each pixel stores three intensity values — one per channel — typically 8 bits each (0–255). Three 8-bit channels give 24 bits per pixel and 2²⁴ = 16,777,216 possible colours. Pure red is (255, 0, 0); white is (255, 255, 255); black is (0, 0, 0). Higher-end HDR formats extend each channel to 10 or 12 bits.
