16 bit color

Anyways, the point is if you are going 16bit you will always come back to 32 shades of each color no matter what you do even if you convert to 255. So if you really want more colors you have no choice but to go 24 or 32bit. But since both modes you need to work in DWORD alignement cause there is not 3 byte
alignement, might as well go full 32bit. But stick to 16 cause it's way faster then 24 and 32 and still looks good
