Screen: colorDepth property
Baseline Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.
The Screen.colorDepth
read-only property returns the
color depth of the screen. Per the CSSOM, some implementations return 24
for compatibility reasons. See the browser compatibility section for those that don't.
Value
A number.
Examples
js
// Check the color depth of the screen
if (window.screen.colorDepth < 8) {
// Use low-color version of page
} else {
// Use regular, colorful page
}
