I have made a list of color formats too help people make the best of there work. A lot of people don't know what the difference of a JPG format or a GIF format. So I made a image of all the formats.

Thats nice. Thanks for making it. This should help alot of people... Also, Jpeg is the best. It's a close call, but if you look closly, Jpeg has more colors.

Well, tahts if you make it low quality. Paint automatically makes it low, so maybe thats why. With photoshop you can take the quality up and down.

Did you know that windows 3.1 ran in GIF imaging? Microsoft says that windows 3.1 ran in bitmap imaging. I thank it ran in GIF imaging.. Or it may just be that its runing in 256 colors. 256 colors must be the same as GIF imaging.

256 colours is a rendering mode, not an image format. Otherwise, your whole system would be made of pictures. My Mac has millions of colours set.

PNG is lossless compression and stands for Portable Network Graphics.
GIF may or may not be dithered (alters quality.) Pronounced "jiff" by official designers. Stands for Graphics Interchange Format. Developed by CompuServ.
JPEG can be somewhat lossy, with less and less quality each render. Developed by, and stands for, Joint Photographic Experts Group.

BMP stands for Bitmap.

BMP stands for Bitmap. On Microsoft.com it says it was the first OS to use Bitmap Imaging.
