8*3=24, 8 bit per channel is a description they use in visual effects. Recently the rest of the computing industry started using it. Yes, confusing.

I asked the same question on starting a vfx job many years back. 8-bit, 256 colors for a feature film? Impossible, that would make it look like .gif or Windows95, right?
