title: Store RGB values in database
body: <p>I never had to do this before and never even thought about this before. How can i or what is the best way of storing RGB values in the database.</p>
  
  <p>I thought of couple of options. The most obvious one being 3 byte columns to store the R,G and the B.(I dont want to go this route)
  Another option is to store it in a 32 bit int column. ( I am leaning towards this one)</p>
  
  <p>or may be i am just missing something trivial.</p>
