HOW TO CREATE THE PERFECT DESIGN PROCESS

Color Depth

In computer graphics, color depth is how you describe the range of colors that can be used in an image. The more colors used in an image, the more realistic it will look. Common values for color depth include the following: 256 colors; 16-bit, which is up to 65,000 colors; and 24-bit, which is 16,777,216 colors. Computer-generated graphics and clip art are best suited to a lower color depth, while photos and realistic images are best suited to 24 and 32-bit color depth. The more colors your image contains, the larger the file size.
