Window Screen Color Depth

The screen.colorDepth property returns the number of bits used to display one color.

All modern computers use 24 bit or 32 bit hardware for color resolution:

  • 24 bits =      16,777,216 different "True Colors"
  • 32 bits = 4,294,967,296 different "Deep Colors"

Older computers used 16 bits: 65,536 different "High Colors" resolution.

Very old computers, and old cell phones used 8 bits: 256 different "VGA colors".

Example

Display the color depth of the screen in bits:

document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML =
"Screen Color Depth: " + screen.colorDepth;

Result will be:

The #rrggbb (rgb) values used in HTML represents "True Colors" (16,777,216 different colors)

Window Screen Pixel Depth

The screen.pixelDepth property returns the pixel depth of the screen.

Example
