How do i convert RGB values to the decimal format used to define the color of armor?
There are tons of converters online but none of them describes the math behind it lol
I'm currently using (r * 256 * 256) + (g * 256) + b which i found somewhere on stackoverflow but that doesn't seem to work correctly

def to_armor(r, g, b):
return (r << 16) | (g << 8) | b
ornate oak
Formula for that is r << 16 + g << 8 + b

I've never seen a bitwise operator in action before.
I always wondered when they would be useful.

```py
def to_armor(r, g, b):
return (r << 16) | (g << 8) | b
```
Does r<<16 mean "move red bits 16 positions to the left" ?

Does `r<<16` mean "move red bits 16 positions to the left" ?
