színszámú

"Színszámú" is a Hungarian word that translates to "color number" or "number of colors." It is most commonly used in the context of digital imaging and computer graphics, referring to the number of distinct colors that can be represented by a particular image format or display.

The number of colors is directly related to the bit depth of the image or display. For example, an 8-bit color system can represent 2 to the power of 8, which equals 256 different colors. A 24-bit color system, often referred to as "true color," can represent 2 to the power of 24, resulting in over 16 million possible colors. This significantly higher "színszámú" allows for much finer gradations and more realistic depictions of images.

Different file formats support varying levels of "színszámú." For instance, GIF files are typically limited to 256 colors, which is why they are often suitable for simple graphics and animations but can result in color banding when used for photographs. JPEG files, on the other hand, commonly use 24-bit color, making them ideal for photographic images. The "színszámú" is a crucial factor in determining the file size and visual fidelity of digital images.
