11.RGB24 is a 24 bit color format. Every pixel is represented by 3 bytes, while every
byte of this triple corresponds to one color value. The letters 'RGB' mean Red, Green and
Blue, so one byte represents the red value, one byte represents the green value and the
last byte represents the blue value.
12.32-bit color, in a RGB color space, is a color depth that can theoretically allow for up
to 4,294,967,296 unique colors.In the 32-bit RGB color representation, an extra 8-bit
channel for transparency is included to 24-bit RGB representation. The transparency
channel is commonly known as the alpha channel, so the format is named RGBA.
13.RGBA is not a distinct color model.Many assume that 32-bit RGB color produces
4,294,967,296 distinct colors.In reality, 32-bit RGB color actually refers to 24-bit RGB
color.
● The following formulas summarize the conversion between the two color models:
� 0 degrees is RED
� Saturation is defined as the percentage of distance from the center of the HSI
triangle to the pyramid surface.
