Modern monitors could display millions (16.7 million) colors.
Netscape Navigator and other browsers have a color table or system palette instead of an adaptive palette.
A system palette is fixed while an adaptive palette is variable and obviously more accurate.

Old monitors have a limited number of colors.

The browser-safe set of colors (6x6x6 color cube) have 216 colors only.
If the color is not in the color cube, two pixels are dithered to approximate the color.

1-bit monitor = 2¹= 2 colors or black and white
8-bit monitor = 2⁸= 256 colors or byte (octet)
4 bits = 1 nibble = 1 hexadecimal digit
8 bits = 1 byte   = 2 hexadecimal digits
         = gogool = 10¹⁰⁰

The decimal number system uses 10 values 0-9
Hexadecimal number system uses 16 values 0-9, a-f

In the

R

G

B

color model.

The 1st byte is red
, the 2nd byte is green and the 3rd byte is blue.

The brightness of a color increases by 20% as you move to the right.

In decimal, the series is 0, 51, 102, 153, 204, 255 in each  byte of the RGB color model.
In hexadecimal, it is equivalent to 00 33 66 99 cc ff

Notice in decimal, the series increases by 51 and the
last digit ranges from 0-5 with 128 as the midpoint of a
(0-255) 256 decimal number,
80 in hexadecimal.
