16 Bit VS 32 Bit color depth?

[bigcomp]

Is there any noticeable difference between the two? like i was playing star trek: bridge commander and even when i switch from LOW to HIGH color depth settings, i don't notice any difference in the appearance .. is that normal?

And i'am using an integrated card, does it have a bad effect on color depths?

Well

There is a visible difference between the two but most people do not notice it. Look for transitions between colors... such as a night sky illuminated by a sunset. In 32bit it would be smooth and without any visible transition lines. With 16bit you could most likely see defined transition lines.

I was talking about the Color Depth.. the difference you mentioned happens when we mess around with actual 16 bit or 32 bit textures.. not with their colors
