RGB Color Representation and Basics

The video lecture by Mr. Westfall explains how computers use RGB values to create colors, with each color represented by a range of 0 to 255 for red, green, and blue. It demonstrates how mixing these values can produce various colors like yellow, pink, and brown. The lecture then introduces hexadecimal as a more efficient way to represent these colors compared to binary, highlighting its convenience in programming. Finally, it connects these concepts to digital images, where each pixel can be represented by a hexadecimal number.

What does RGB stand for in the context of color representation?
