đŸŽ¯ WHAT IS 16-BIT COLOR?

16-bit color (RGB565) uses 5 bits for red, 6 bits for green, and 5 bits for blue. This gives us 2^16 = 65,536 possible colors instead of the 16.7 million colors in 24-bit mode.


Green gets an extra bit because human eyes are most sensitive to green light!

🕹ī¸ GAMING HISTORY

16-bit color was widely used in 1990s graphics cards and early 3D accelerators. Games like Quake and early Windows used this format for better performance.


Modern mobile devices still use 16-bit color in some cases to save memory and battery!
