if talking about the colors on your desktop, did you know that 32bit color represents 16.7 million colors?

No, they mean completely different things. You can only have up to 32-bit colour.

ddp: IIRC, isn't 16.7 million colours only 16-bit? I thought 32-bit was even more...

i think 16 bit is 64 thousand colors as you have 4 colors, 16 colors, 256 colors, 16 bit, 24 bit & 32 bit. i remember that from win3.1 using isa & pci cards. 24 bit i don't know the colors but do for 16 & 32 bit.

Yeah that makes sense. 2^24=16,777,216. 2^16=65536. 2^32=4 294 967 296.
