What is RGB color space
The RGB color model is capable of forming all colors from combinations of red, green and blue colorsThe tones that in English are Red, Green and Blue respectively, so this color space owes its name to the initial of each of the three colors mentioned above.
Each of the forming primary colors used in the RGB model use 8 bitswith values ranging from 0 to 255 according to the binary system. This gives us a total of 256 x 256 x 256 = 16,777,216 different colors.
Below you have a table in which you can see how the 24 bits used to obtain the RGB colors:
| RED[7:0] | GREEN[7:0] | BLUE[7:0] | |||||||||||||||||||||
| 23 | 16 | 15 | 8 | 7 | 0 | ||||||||||||||||||
To convert from RGB to hexadecimal we have to use the following mathematical formula:
RGB = (R*65536)+(G*256)+B
Being:
- R the color red
- G the color green
- B the color blue
For example, the color white is obtained with the following operation:
Blank = 255*65536+255*256+255 = #FFFFFFFFFF
Blue would look like this:
Blue = 0*65536+0*256+255 = #0000FF
And so on with the tone we want.
