Welcome to KORG!
Good information, but it isn't that strange, really.
"256" is 8 bits - 0-255. RGB represents 3 8-bit bytes. If you take them together, kind of like a network address (B.G.R), you'll see that Red is the first byte, which is multiplied by 1. Green is the second byte, multiplied by 256, and Blue is the third byte, multiplied by 65536 (or 256 * 256). Thus, the RGB can be represented by a single value of 0 to 16777215 (16 million colors) rather than 3 separate values of 0-255.
