+16 Bits Per Component
+=====================
+
+These formats store an RGB triplet in six bytes, with 16 bits per component
+stored in memory in little endian byte order. They are named based on the order
+of the RGB components as stored in memory. For instance, RGB48 stores R\
+:sub:`7:0` and R\ :sub:`15:8` in bytes 0 and 1 respectively. This differs from
+the DRM format nomenclature that instead uses the order of components as seen in
+the 48-bits little endian word.
