How many color dots make up one color pixel on a screen?

The correct answer is 3

Key Points

• Pixels (In a computer screen and television screen) are formed by a triplet: Red, Green, and Blue.
• They can be different intensities of these colors in increments of 1 from 0 to 255 (RGB scale), and thus you can get whatever color you want.
• Every subpixel (Red, Green, and Blue) can have different levels of brightness.
• Usually from 0 to 255 (on a computer screen) (8 bits per channel), but many computer screens can show you only 6 bits of color per channel.
• Good professional (for visual professionals) computer screens can show up to 16 bits per channel (but usually only 10 or 12 bits are directly addressable, the full range is used for calibrating these 10 or 12 bits).
• Mixing such intensities of the three sub-pixels, give you all the possible colors.
