On display themes on computers there can be seen million colors, 20 million colors etc. There are also terms like true color ,high color , 32 bit, 64 bit etc. 256 color scheme is also there. Actually how many colors can a normal computer screen can produce?

There is no definite answer to this question as the number of colors available on a computer screen depends on its display settings and capabilities. Generally, modern computer screens can display up to 16.7 million colors, although some may be able to display more.

As said in the previous answer, a computer monitor that claim to produce millions of colors can actually produce those colors but not at the same time.
Theoretically, a monitor can produce RGB combinations in Red, Green, and Blue which results in a number 16.7 million. ie: 256 colors of red, green and blue make the number like this: 256 x 256 x 256 = 16.7 million. But a normal monitor can only produce a maximum of one or two million pixels. So only about thousands of colors are produced on a monitor at a time.
So as a one-word answer we can tell a PC screen can produce 16.7 million colors!

Highly true and justifyable I made some research of my own and found this to be quite reliable.

 The dilemma that we elapsed in thought to this question completely gave us the ability to think for answers like these.

256 colors in each Red, Blue, Green.  Total 16.7 million . But I don't think a computer monitor can display all these millions of colors. Its may vary or depend upon the different types and make of monitors.

It's not clear just what you are trying to ask. Most computers now use 24 bit color, capable of defining about 16.7 million colors. Some graphic cards use other methods to get very different definitions. The number of colors that a monitor can produce might be much less than the number that the machinery can define, and a printer is much worse than a monitor.

Color range of computer is defined by term color depth-the total no.of colors that the computer is capable of displaying given it's hardware.The most common color depths you will see are 8-bit ( 256 coclors),16-bit (65,536 colors) and 24-bit (16.7 million colors) modes.

The total number of colors that the computer can display to the users is 256. According to the theory, there exist 16.777 millions of colors combination produced by the computer to display on the screen.  The Computer display is control within 8 bits of number.

Our computer comes with specific set of the color profile. And you can check that out during the purchase. SRGB is pretty much common color profile. As for the international color profile based on the TV standards like NTSC and PAL, you can find that in the laptop display. I am sure you will find thosse color profiles settings on the monitor driver instruction manual.

There are 256 colours are available in our computer in three levels which are red, green and blue and each color is independent on others. Therefore, total number of colors available after 256*256*256=16.777 million colors.

Enlighting one another and sharing of adequate information is what we are all there for, i find you to be quite enlightening on this matter.This is quite true most people at times don't see it from this point of view and now I see and understand what you are trying to say.

Most modern computer monitors can display at least 256 different colors–many can display millions of colors. The discovery of materials from which LEDs (light emitting diodes), phos- phors, and liquid crystals are made makes these colors possible. The smallest unit on the computer screen is called a pixel.

The most modern computer has at least 256 colors. The catch is it can display many millions of colors. That's how amazing the usage of computers in the modern world nowadays. As compared to the Jurassic era, we cannot appreciate these colors.

There are 256 possible levels of red, green, and blue and each is independent of the other, then there are 256 x 256 x 256 different color combinations that the computer can theoretically display. 256 x 256 x 256 = 16.777 million colors.

The answer to this question depends on the type of computer display you have. Most computer displays are capable of displaying a range of 16 million colors (or more), commonly referred to as true color or 32-bit color. These displays can produce a much wider range of colors than the 256 color scheme that was commonly used in the past.

The number of colors available on a computer depends on the display hardware and the graphics settings. The most common display hardware today is capable of displaying 24-bit color, which translates to over 16 million colors. However, the number of colors that can be displayed may be limited by the graphics settings, which may be set to a lower color depth in order to conserve system resources or accommodate legacy hardware or software.
