RGBWertPaar

RGBWertPaar is a term used in German-language software development to describe a data structure or concept that stores color information as a pair of numeric values within the RGB color model. It is not a formal standard of color science; its exact meaning depends on the context, API, or library in which it appears.

In practice, an RGBWertPaar often represents two of the three RGB components. The blue component may be stored separately, derived from another source, or implied by the specific application. Another common interpretation is a compact representation that packs two 8-bit color components into a 16-bit word, with the third component either stored elsewhere or calculated at runtime. Because of this variability, the pair does not prescribe a single fixed arrangement of red, green, and blue values.

Typical value ranges depend on the implementation. Commonly, components are represented as 8-bit integers in the range 0–255, corresponding to standard RGB values. In other contexts, floating-point values in the range 0.0–1.0 may be used, or packed formats and hardware-specific encodings may apply. The chosen representation affects how the pair interfaces with rendering pipelines, palettes, and color-conversion routines.

Use in practice includes lightweight color storage for palettes, color mapping, or hardware control of RGB LEDs where two components are tracked in a single structure for efficiency. When working with an RGBWertPaar, it is important to consult the specific documentation of the library or project to understand which components are included, how they are mapped to the final color, and how to convert to or from full RGB representations.
