Colour depth and

Binary representation

Achieved:
Q1: Describe the meaning of the term ‘Colour
debth’.
Colour depth, also known as bit depth, refers to
the number of bits used to store colour
information for each pixel in a digital image.
Q2: Describe the relationship between the
number of bits and the number of colours.
The relationship between the number of bits and
the number of colours is closely tied to colour depth and binary representation
in digital imaging. Colour depth, often referred to as bit depth, is the number of
bits used to represent the colour of a single pixel in a digital image. The greater
the bit depth, the more colours can be represented.
Q3 Complete the Table Below:
Number of bits by pixel Number of Possible colours
1 2
2 4
3 8
4 16
5 2
6 64
7 128
8 256

Challenge Task
How many colours can the human I see?

While the number of distinct colours the human

eye can perceive is not easily quantifiable, it's
often stated that the average human can
distinguish between approximately 2 to 7 million
different colours. This estimation takes into
