Synopsis

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. In computing, indexed color is a technique to manage digital images' colors in a limited fashion, in order to save computer's memory and file storage, while speeding up display refresh and telecom transfers. When an image is encoded this way, the color information is not directly carried by the image pixel data, but it is stored into a separate piece of data called a palette: an array of color elements, in which every element, a color, is indexed by its position within the array. This way, each pixel does not contain the full specification of its color, but only its index into the palette. This technique is sometimes referred as pseudocolor or indirect color, as colors are addressed indirectly.
