21.2 java.awt.image.ColorModel (JDK 1.0)

This abstract class defines a color model--i.e., a scheme for representing a color. Subclasses implement the methods of this interface to convert their particular representation of a pixel value into the default RGB color model. The static method getRGBDefault() returns a ColorModel object that implements the default color model--RGB plus alpha transparency. You generally never need to call the instance methods of a ColorModel--they are called internally by other image manipulation classes.

See also DirectColorModel and IndexColorModel.
