Chapter 3, Problem 57E

Explanation of Solution

Color depth:

• A color of single pixel in an image or video buffer can be represented using number of bits, and it is known as color depth.
• Color depth is used to determine the number of colors that can be displayed in a computer monitor.
• The color depth is used to produce the following number of colors,
  • Grayscale color:
    • Using 2 bit color depth, four colors are produced.
    • Color Graphics Adapter (CGA) uses this Grayscale color.
    • It is the primary color standard.
  • Monochrome color:
    • With one bit color depth, two colors can be produced in monochrome color.
    • Monochrome color uses only two colors; black and white.
  • Video Graphics Array (VGA) color:
    • It uses 8 bits color depth to produce 26 colors...
