All colours used in Pictor are stored in a single 16-bit integer with 6 bits of red colour value, 5 bits of green colour value & 6 bits of blue colour value. This allows for efficient processing inside Pictor.

uint16_t encode656Colour(const uint8_t Red, const uint8_t Green, const uint8_t Blue);

Creates a colour encoded in 656-RGB from individual RGB bytes, for use in other Pictor functions.

Parameters:

1. Red, Green, Blue - RGB values as 8-bit integers.

Return Value:

• 16-bit integer of 656-RGB encoded colour.
