Digital images can be thought of as a collection of numbers. Screens reproduce the vast range of colours by mixing different intensities of only three colors–Red, Green & Blue1. Each pixel in an image can thus be represented by specifying the RGB values. In an 8-bit image, there are 256 discrete values which are represented in the range (0-255). Thus the color red is rgb(255, 0, 0), a magenta would be somewhere close to rgb(255, 0, 200). The digital image is a large matrix of such rgb values.
