About 9-bit (3-3-3) Color Mode
9-bit color uses 3 bits each for red, green, and blue components (0-7), allowing for 512 unique colors. Each component has 8 possible values, providing a more balanced color representation than 8-bit color. This format was used in some early graphics systems and offered a good compromise between memory usage and color fidelity. While not as common as 8-bit or 24-bit color, it represented an important step in the evolution of computer graphics.
