What exactly determines 8-Bit?

[Fizzles]

I'm wanting to do 8-bit art for an art project, but I don't exactly know what determines 8-bit. I understand that it's a small amount of pixels being displayed, but how many? What's the resolution of an 8-bit image?

isn't something like there is 8 pixels for each bit/square? I dunno, some friend told me that is supposedly a computer wizz.

Your friend is wrong and knows nothing.

8-bit for pictures is a colorset of 256.

im pretty sure a pixel =/= a bit

bit = 8 byte
byte is like..... 8 strings of binarys? i dunno i forget

Something about the number of colors or so I've heard.
8 bit= 8,000 colors
16 bit= 16,000 colors


Not sure, but that's what I've heard.

8 bit= 8,000 colors
