The size of the frame buffer and how often it is refreshed is called the bandwidth. This can result in a large portion of memory being used depending on the size of the display and the color depth chosen.
This is calculated as pixel area x number of bits/pixel.įor example: a 240x320 resolution display using 16-bit color will require a minimum ofġ53.6 kB of memory allocated per frame. The frame buffer memory needed is the total number of bits or bytes for one frame. Higher color depth (higher bpp) means that more memory will need to be used to display the image. The RGB data is stored in the frame buffer which is memory allocated in RAM to periodically refresh the display. Below are definitions for a variety of 16-bit colors. These 16-bit RGB values are typically transmitted as hexadecimal values ranging from black RGB (0,0,0) = 0x0000 (no color) to white RGB(1,1,1) = 0xFFFF (all colors) and everything in between. The RGB-565 color depth will result in a range of 65k different colors. Alternatively, the 16-bit color depth can assign RGB-555 with one unused bit. Below are some typical color depths and their characteristics.Ī 16-bit color depth known as “High color” can contain 5 red bpp, 6 green bpp, and 5 blue bpp. Memory, frame buffering, and bandwidth can be trade off’s for higher color depth and should be considered when choosing color depth of the display. These colors are then color mapped from the signals in a variety of combinations. The range of color is determined by how many bits of red, green and blue (RGB) each pixel is assigned to the frame buffer.Ī pixel’s color value is measured in bits-per-pixel or bpp. This can range from 8- bit color, 16-bit high color to 24-bit true color.
PAL or XML palettes only.LCD Resources Color Depth (65k, 262k, 16.7M)Ĭolor depth is the number of colors that can be used for each pixel on the display.Only RGB colour space is currently supported.Groups are automatically flattened as the palette editor UI does not support groups yet.HSB and Lab spaces are not currently supported.This format is used by old DOS/Windows games such as Command and Conquer, Powermonger, Ultima 4, Stonekeep and many more.If you require support for a given format not currently available in this application (for example, formats belong to applications of yesteryear) contact us with details and we will look into adding support. Custom templates can also be defined, allowing palettes to be exported to bespoke text formats.Ĭyotek is very interested in adding support for as many formats as possible. In addition to the first party palette support listed above, Color Palette Editor can also import and export to other file types. If you convert a palette from one format to another, or save a palette with features not supported by the format you are saving as, some information may be lost. Some formats also support a greater color precision than other formats.
Not all palette formats support all given features, e.g. Sending template output to standard output.Pasting a swatch color from the clipboard.Copying a swatch color to the clipboard.Importing the contents of an existing palette.Saving the current palette with a new name.
