Why is the hexadecimal system often used to manipulate color in digital media? colour in digital media is commonly stored 24 bits per pixel; 8 each for red, blue and green. 6 hexadecimal digits encode 24 bits exactly, separating red, blue and green into â¦ groups of 2 digits.
In contrast, a decimal digit corresponds to log 2 (10) = 3.322 bits and a byte is 2.408 decimal digits. Clearly hexadecimal is better suited to the task of representing binary numbers than is decimal. As an example, the number CA3 16 = 1100 1010 0011 2 (1100 2 = C 16, 1010 2 = A 16, 0011 2 = 3 16).
