A color value is a set of numbers that uniquely identify a color within a color space. Color values are like map coordinates that identify a location with latitude and longitude. Color values take either the form of integers within a certain range, a percentage from 0% to 100%, or a floating point number (float) typically from 0 to 1. The lowest value represents black (no contribution to the color), while the highest value represents the fullest contribution, with all values combining to make white. Color values = 2 ^ (color depth × [number of color channels])
