### Remarks

Each of RGBA color channels is stored as an 8-bit value in \[0..1] range. In memory, the channel data is ordered this way: A, R, G, B bytes one after another.

Note that [TextureFormat.RGBA32](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/textureformat/rgba32.md) format might be slightly more efficient as the data layout in memory more closely matches what the graphics APIs expect.
