The number in each position ranges from 0 (no color added) to 255 (100% color added). This range was chosen because it is the most commonly used in computer color selection dialogs. (The numbers 0 through 255 fit naturally within one byte and are therefore used to directly drive graphics cards.) Most image editing programs accept this range.
If the color in the top layer is less than fully opaque (alpha < 255), the color from underlying layers "shows through". In the RGB model, hues are represented by specifying one color as full intensity (255), a second color with a variable intensity, and the third color with no intensity (0).
This results in an 8-color palette ((2 1) 3 = 2 3 = 8) that has black, white, the three RGB primary colors red, green and blue and their correspondent complementary colors cyan, magenta and yellow as follows: The color indices vary between implementations; therefore, index numbers are not given. The 3-bit RGB palette is used by:
B: Normalized to [0–255] (byte) The adjacent box displays the generic tone of international orange used by military contractors and in engineering generally. The source of this color is Federal Standard 595 , a U.S. federal government standard set up in 1956 for paint colors which is mostly used by military contractors and also in engineering.
RGB values are usually given in the 0–255 range; if they are in the 0–1 range, the values are multiplied by 255 before conversion. This number divided by sixteen (integer division; ignoring any remainder) gives the first hexadecimal digit (between 0 and F, where the letters A to F represent the numbers 10 to 15.
