Bit Depth/Pixel Depth
Recall: The Number of Bits Stored with Each Pixel is Bit Depth
(Sometimes Called Pixel Depth)
The Higher the Pixel Depth, The Greater the Number of Colors Available
8-Bit Pixel Depth: 2⁸ = 256 Colors
16-Bit Pixel Depth: 2¹⁶ = 65,536 Colors
24-Bit Pixel Depth: 2²⁴ = 16,777,216 Colors
