A pixel can only store 8 commands. --None1 (talk) 00:50, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

The problem is actually with the number of commands per byte – one command is three bits, and one byte is eight bits, so you can store 2⅔ commands per byte rather than 4. When using 24-bit color, a pixel contains three bytes, so that makes a total of 8 commands per pixel. (It's possible to get slightly more than that by using compression algorithms that exploit the fact that some sequences of BF commands are more likely than others, and some are useless; see Sesos.) --ais523 20:56, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
