Computer Monitors create color from light, through 3RGB subpixel channels. Each respective subpixel channel represents R, G and B, and can be individually adjusted to produce millions upon millions of color combinations. Each color channel can be adjusted by intensity from 0 to 255, which totals 256 individual values that make up the amount of different values in each color channel. Multiplying 256 by the number of subpixel channels (3) will give the total colors a monitor can display.

Which is 16.7 million colors, or exactly16,777,216.
