1-Bit Color - PrintWiki

The document discusses 1-bit color which is the simplest form of digital color representation where each pixel is represented by 1 bit allowing only two possible colors. 1-bit color is usually black and white but can be any two colors and only allows for 21 or 2 possible colors per pixel. The document also mentions related color depths like 4-bit, 8-bit, and more.

1-Bit Color
On a computer monitor, a color display in which each pixel (or smallest point of color) is described by 1 bit of
information. (One bit is either a 1 or a 0; 1-Bit color can be thought of as one of these two numbers taken to the
first power; thus 21 = 2 possible colors.) The color of a pixel on a computer display is commonly expressed as
some amount of red, green, and blue. Greater numbers of combinations of these amounts require more
processing power on the part of the computer. At 1 bit per pixel, a total of only two colors (typically black and
white, or any other two colors) can be described and displayed. See also 4-Bit Color, 8-Bit Color, 16-Bit Color,
24-Bit Color, and 32-Bit Color. Scanning done at a color depth of 1-Bit is known as bilevel scanning.
