With the VRAM SIMM, the LC can display 16-bit color, providing subtle enough shading for all but the most demanding photo-retouching applications. The first 15 bits of the 16-bit color provide 32,768 colors; the 16th bit is reserved for the alpha channel, which is used by software developers." -MacUser, December1990 You should read more.
