colors are programed in as binary code I believe but why they picked those certain sequences of binary digits to represent a color... no fucking clue
i was just blown away by both the topic and the first comment...
i know it's crazy to think about right. like we just accept these things but if you really think about it, how the fuck did they come up with the technology
you guys are all baked out of your skulls. its just a bunch of 0's and 1's, not rocket science. each binary sequence represents a bit. data can be stored in bytes consisting of 8 bits, 16 bits, 24 bits, etc. ~1000 bytes and you've got a kilobyte. 1,000 kilobytes a milobyte, 1,000 milobytes a gigabyte, 1,000 gigabytes a terabyte...etc.
but why do we represent color as 0's and 1's? like how does a 0(known to have a value of nothing) and a 1 mix together in sequences to create color?
The 0s and 1s don't actually form the color, they just make the a light go off that's ordered to go off when a certain sequence shows up.
binary def
Basically, I'm guna try and explain this when baked.
In a screen, each pixel is tiny little polaroid cell, and it can change color (Red, Green, Blue) based on the voltage that is passed through it (because thats what that kinda shit does cos its awesome). The screen determines what voltage to put through it based on the data it receives from a graphics card, dvd player or whatever. IDK right now how the info gets from data to the screen but its probably in the form of binary or shit.
Peace
and that's why your the "TechHippy" :)
by going 1100001101000101101001001001101111101001010101 into the machiene somehow. idk its that black magic again...
each bit is either on (1) or off(0) and is arranged into groups of eight 00000000 I know 01010011 transfers into S 01010010 is s

Alright, I'm a computer science major, so I may be of help here.
So there are 3 main levels of code: Machine Language < Assembly Language < Software
Machine language is the most basic. It is a long binary string of 1's and 0's. The reason for this is because binary is very easy to represent in a computer. Think of each bit as a switch. Each bit is on or off. This makes it very easy to build and represent physically. It's difficult to make a switch that has inbetween's and still be very fast.
Assembly language is a stripped down version of code that the computer translates to machine language to execute
Software is code written by programmers. When the computer executes it, it rewrites the program in assembly language to execute it.
Color in a computer can be represented by a bit string in "RGB" format. I think it's 3 bytes long, or 24 bits. Each byte (8 bits) contains information for a specific color. A monitor displays 3 colors: Red, Green, and Blue. Through a mix of these three any color is made. Each value for the colors ranges from 0 to 255. When all the colors are set to 0, the color is black and when all of them are set to 255, the color is white.
So the bit string looks something like this:
RRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGBBBBBBBB
Where R = red, G = green, and B = blue
So to program colors onto a screen, a programmer must specify which pixel they are editing and then specify what color they want it to be. So a snippet of code would be like
pixel[0][0].red = 255;
So pixel[0][0] means the top left pixel and the ".red" means to access the red component of that pixel
Hope that answered your question.
Good luck, and good smoking
great explination.

Yeah you know, I'm so toasted right now that all of this *OMGSCIENCE* going on here is only confusing me. Programming color into a computer is INSANE.
