Oct 26, 2018 at 1:16 comment added Aaron Franke I can personally see the difference between one-off colors in 8 BPC (24/32 BPP) color depth. I can easily see the difference between 222b14 and 232c15 if they're right next to each other. But I don't know if my eyesight is near the average.

Feb 11, 2015 at 19:03 comment added Glenn Randers-Pehrson 32 probably means 8 bits each of red, green, blue, and alpha. Most monitors these days support 24-bit RGB (8 bits per color sample). For gruesome details see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_depth. The human eye can easily distinguish 8-bit color samples, but it's harder to see a difference if the colors are logarithmically (gamma) or sRGB encoded.
