In computing

255 is a special number in some tasks having to do with computing. This is the maximum value representable by an eight-digit binary number, and therefore the maximum representable by an unsigned 8-bit byte (the most common size of byte, also called octet), the smallest common variable size used in high level programming languages (bit being smaller, but rarely used for value storage). The range is 0 to 255, which is 256 total values.

 

255 = 28 − 1 = FF16 = 111111112.

For example, 255 is the maximum value

 

that can be assigned to elements in the 24-bit RGB color model, since each color channel is allotted eight bits.

of any dotted quad in an IP address.

of the Alpha blending scale in Delphi (255 being 100% visible and 0 being fully transparent)

This number occurs especially frequently in video games when a small number is needed, such as in the original The Legend of Zelda for the Nintendo Entertainment System where the maximum number of Rupees (the currency of the game) is 255.
