What is Bit Depth?

Bit depth refers to the color information stored in an image. The higher the bit depth of an image, the more colors it can save.

The most uncomplicated image, a 1-bit image, can only show two colors, black and white.

What is Color Depth?

Alternatively referred to as pixel depth and color.

Depth refers to the number of bits per pixel on a computer monitor to represent a specific color.

The more bits per pixel, the higher color variety and quality of the monitor.

The first graphics cards and monitors supported 1-bit color, which was monochrome (most commonly black and white), for early computers like the Apple Macintosh and Atari ST.

Today, most computers support at least 32-bit color, which allows for up to 16.7 million tones.

Windows 7 introduced support for 48-bit color, assuming the computer’s video card supports this color depth.

What are 24-bit Colors?

Definition of: 24-bit color. Using three bytes per pixel in a display system (eight bits for each red, green and blue sub pixel). Also called “True Color” and “RGB color,” a total of 16,777,216 colors can be represented in the color palette.

What is 32-bit Color?

24 bit usually means 24 bits total per pixel, with 8 bits per channel for green, red and blue.

This is referred to as 24 bit RGB.

“32 bit” also usually means 32 bits total per pixel & 8 bits per channel, with an additional 8-bit alpha channel that is used for transparency.

Evolution of Colour Depth

1-bit (21 or 2 colors) – Monochrome displays.
2-bit (22 or 4 colors) – CGA displays.
4-bit (24 or 16 colors) – EGA displays.
8-bit (28 or 256 colors) – VGA displays.
16-bit (216 or 65,536 colors) – XGA displays.
24-bit (224 or 16,777,216 colors) – SVGA displays.
32-bit (16,777,216 colors + Alpha channel (232 or 4,294,967,296 color combinations))
48-bit (248 or 281,474,976,710,656 colors)
