You don't say how you are observing this. Beware that some popular
applications (like Photoshop) don't display the full precision of
the underlying color values. They round to the nearest integer in
their readout. Underlying color values are almost certainly a minimum
of 8 bits (256 distinct levels), and might be more than this (16 bit
or floating point).
There's a tiny pipette icon in Photoshop's Info palette. You can use it
to adjust the precision Photoshop displays:
- "8bit" shows the usual integer values in the rage of 0...255 for RGB
and rounded percentages for CMYK or grayscale
- "16bit" displays values with Photoshop's internal "16bit"-precision
(0...32768)
- "32bit" displays floating point values between 0 and 1 with 3 decimal
places
