What is argb?

ARGB (Alpha Red Green Blue) is a color encoding system used in computer graphics to represent colors with an alpha channel for transparency. In this system, each color component (red, green, blue, and alpha) is typically represented by an 8-bit value, allowing for 256 levels of intensity for each component.

The alpha channel controls the transparency of the color, with 0 representing fully transparent and 255 representing fully opaque. This allows for smooth blending of colors and for creating translucent effects in images and graphics.

ARGB is commonly used in programming and software development for applications where transparency and blending of colors are required, such as in games, image editing software, and graphic design programs. It offers more flexibility and control over color representation compared to other color models like RGB or RGBA.
