📚 Quick Study Guide
- 💻 Computers use a special language called binary to represent all information, including colors.
- 🔢 Binary uses only two digits: 0 and 1. Think of them as 'off' and 'on'.
- 💡 When computers show colors on a screen, they mix three primary colors of light: Red, Green, and Blue (often called RGB).
- 🚦 Each of these RGB colors can be represented by a binary digit: 1 means the color is 'on' (full brightness), and 0 means it's 'off' (no brightness).
- ⚫ For example, Black is (0, 0, 0) – meaning no Red, no Green, and no Blue light.
- ⚪ White is (1, 1, 1) – meaning full Red, full Green, and full Blue light mixed together.
- 🔴 Red is (1, 0, 0) – meaning full Red, but no Green or Blue.
- 🟢 Green is (0, 1, 0) – meaning no Red, full Green, and no Blue.
- 🔵 Blue is (0, 0, 1) – meaning no Red, no Green, and full Blue.
- 🎨 By mixing these 0s and 1s in different combinations for R, G, and B, computers can create millions of different colors!
