Area.

Color Channels
The red, green, or blue components of a color image. Color
images contain 8 bits per pixel each for red, green, and blue
channels, therefore each pixel has 24 bits. If you are scanning a
color image, you can change the brightness and contrast of the
individual red, green, and blue tones in your image. The Master
channel is a combination of the three.
