| Sometimes
abbreviated as b, a bit is short
for Binary digIT and is a single unit of
information that can have a value of either ON or
OFF.
When attempting to determine the amount
of colors in a bit color depth, this can be calculated by: 2 to the
power of the bit color. In other words, an 8-bit color would be 2^8 =
256 colors.
