  • A diagram showing how manipulating the least significant bits of a color can have a very subtle and generally unnoticeable affect on the color. In this diagram, green is represented by its [[RGB]] value, both in decimal and in binary. The red box surrounding the last two bits illustrates the least significant bits changed in the binary representation.
