For example, a standard RGB 8-bit image can only show 256 values of grey and hence only 256 heights. By using colors, a greater number of heights can be stored (for a 24-bit image, 256 3 = 16,777,216 heights can be represented (256 4 = 4,294,967,296 if the alpha channel is also used)). This technique is especially useful where height varies ...
A common example is the Data General Nova, which was a 16-bit design that performed 16-bit math as a series of four 4-bit operations. 4-bits was the word size of a widely available single-chip ALU and thus allowed for inexpensive implementation. Using the definition being applied to the 68000, the Nova would be a 4-bit computer, or 4/16.
In the binary formats, PBM uses 1 bit per pixel, PGM uses 8 or 16 bits per pixel, and PPM uses 24 or 48 bits per pixel: 8/16 for red, 8/16 for green, 8/16 for blue. Application support for the 16 bit variants is still rare. PGM and PPM documentation defines that gray and color values use the BT.709 color space and gamma transfer function.
16-bit audio, 32 kHz sampling rate; Optional Dolby Surround support; Stereo audio with: 4 FM synthesis channels/voices; 3 square wave channels/voices; 1 white noise generator; 6 ADPCM channels (12-bit) @ 18.5 kHz sampling rate [72] 1 ADPCM channel (16-bit) @ 1.8 to 55.5 kHz sampling rate [72]
It must be noted that not all systems using 16-bit color depth employ the 16-bit, 32-64-32 level RGB palette. Platforms like the Sharp X68000 home computer or the Neo Geo video game console employs the 15-bit RGB palette (5 bits are used for red, green, and blue), but the last bit specifies a less significant intensity or luminance.

The Atari ST series has a digital-to-analog converter of 3-bits, eight levels per RGB channel, featuring a 9-bit RGB palette (512 colors).Depending on the (proprietary) monitor type attached, it displays one of the 320×200, 16-colors and 640×200, 4-colors modes with the color monitor, or the high resolution 640×400 black and white mode with the monochrome monitor.
