Best Answer

One byte For each primary color results in 256 different intensity levels for each primary color. Thus a pixel can take on a color from 256X256X256 or 16.7 milion possible choices.

If 1 bit = 256 Color Approximately.

Then in 24 bit = 256 X 24 = 6144 color Approximately.

How many colors are possible if 8 bits pixel is used?

256, 8 bits per pixel = 2^8 colours.


How many different choices of colors are possible if you use 24 bits per pixel?

You can represent a maximum of 2^24 colors in RGB. This equals to 16777216 possible colors.


How many colors are possible if 24 bits pixel is used?

You are actually asking how many colors are possible in 8 bit per channel. 8 bit per channel means 256 colors, 1 bit= 2 colors, 2 bits= 4 colors, 3 bits= 8 colors, 4 bits= 16... 8bits= 256 colors. Since we have 3 channels in RGB color mode: Red, Green and Blue that means that we have 3x8= 24 bits per pixel in an image. 3x8 also means 256x256x256 colors possible. Number of possible colors in 8 bit per channel or 24 bits per pixel image is 256x256x256 colors or in particular exact number of possible colors is 16777216.

How many bits per pixel are needed to represent a black and white image?

Most modern digital cameras use 24 bits (8 bits per primary) to represent a color. But more or less can be used, depending on the quality desired. Many early computer graphics cards used only 4 bits to represent a color.

How many colors does bmp contain?

A 32 bit per pixel bitmap will have 8 bits each for red green and blue, and 8 bits for alpha level. So 2^24 colors.

How many Bits use in Bitmap?

1024bitsIf "Bitmap" refers to a specific entity, image or file: I do not know. But if "Bitmap" refers to a general image then it is 8 bytes or 64 bits per pixel. I just made 3 1*1 bitmap images at colordepths 2bits (monochrome), 8 bits (256 colors) and 24 bits (16 Million colors). The sizes of these images were the same! (surprized me too!) Then I made a 1*2 pixel image and it was 66 bytes (528 bits) so the "overhead Microsoft paint puts on a bitmap is 400 bits. This could be an effect of limitations inherent in Microsoft Paint.
