About 8-bit (3-3-2) Color Mode
8-bit color uses an asymmetric bit distribution with 3 bits for red (0-7), 3 bits for green (0-7), and 2 bits for blue (0-3), allowing for 256 unique colors. This format was common in early color computer systems like the original VGA standard. The human eye is less sensitive to blue, which is why it gets fewer bits. While limited by today's standards, this format was revolutionary for its time and could still display recognizable images and basic graphics.
