(with the exception of JPEG images). All tions for the pixels are derived from three color varia- primary col- ors: red, green, and blue. Each primary color is represented by 1 byte; 24-bit images use 3 bytes per pixel to represent a color value. These 3 bytes can be represented as hexadecimal, decimal, and ues. In many Web pages, the background binary val- color is rep- resented by a six-digit hexadecimal number— actually three pairs representing red, green, and b ue. A white background would have the value FFFFFF: 100 per- cent red (FF), 100 percent green (FF), and 100 percent blue (FF). Its decimal value is 255, 255, 255, and its binary value is 11111111, 11111111, 11111111, which are the three bytes making up white.

Figure 1. N€Preseitla= tive color palettes. (a) A256-color red palette and (b) a 256- color Renoir palette. The Renoir palette is so named because it comes from a 256- color version of Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s “Le Moulin de la Galette.” tions: visually differentiating between many of these colors is difficult. Figure 1b shows subtle color changes as well as those that seem drastic.

visually but that may vary by one bit.$ These tools take a similar approach with gray-scale images. However, the resulting stego-images as applied with S-Tools are no longer gray-scale. Instead of sim- ply going with adjacent colors as EzStego does, S-Tools manipulates the palette to produce colors that havea difference of one bit. For example, in anormal gray-scale image, white will move to black with the following RGB triples
