The PlayStation is also capable of handling data in 24-bit color (BPP = <b>11</b>), in which case the color samples are stored as 3-byte groups. In the event that an image's width is an uneven number of pixels, the last byte is left as padding; the first pixel of a new row is always stored at the corresponding first pixel of the frame buffer row. The color samples are stored in the following order:

For 8-bit indexed colors (BPP = <b>01</b>), the image pixels are stored two by two in each 16-bit value as follows:
