What is RGB?
RGB: A colour representation in which each pixel is described by three intensities, red, green and blue, that mix additively to produce other colours. It matches how screens and cameras work and is the default input format for most vision models.
RGB: an example
Pure yellow is stored as (255, 255, 0) in 8-bit RGB, meaning full red, full green and no blue.
