It’s six bits per color plane, 18 bits total for three planes (red, green, blue), 2 ^ 18 = 262144
Yeah, okay, so why are they calling it “6 bit” color instead of going with the naming convention that’s been around since before the advent of VGA and calling it “18 bit” color, which is what it really is??
I’d think the boys in Marketing would like to tout as many bits as they can.
Isn’t it red, blue and yellow?
