Pixels and colours
A photo on a screen is a grid of pixels. Every pixel mixes red, green and blue light, each with a number from 0 to 255.

Why
If you look very closely at a screen, or through a magnifying glass, what do you see?
You see tiny squares, each with one colour. From a distance they look like one smooth picture together. Those squares are called pixels.
A computer does not store a colour the way we see it, but as numbers. How do you make a colour out of three numbers? You find out here.
