Most modern digital cameras use 24 bits (8 bits per primary) to represent a color. But more or less can be used, depending on the quality desired.

Many early computer graphics cards used only 4 bits to represent a color.

A "black and white" image is generally actually a grayscale image, which is typically represented with 8 bits per pixel. However, you can make images that use only one bit per pixel, making each pixel either fully black or fully white. The images created by the early graphics software MacPaint used only one bit per pixel.

There are 2 colors in bits per pixel - 4 colors in 2 bits per pixel - 16 colors in 4 bits per pixel and similarly this sequence continuous going on.

To represent 256 colors it is needed 8 bit per pixel. 1 bit mean 2 colors, 2 bits mean 4 colors, 3 bits per pixel can represent 8 colors... 8 bits = 256 colors.

How an image is divided into number of shares in visual cryptography?

as a simple example assume you want divide a gray level secret image to two shares. Each pixel in the secret image is expanded to four subpixels in each share that consist of white and black so width and height of shares is twice of secret image. first share is an image wich has random pixels of black or white with equal probability. in second share, if corresponding pixel in main secret image is white then the pixel in second share is the same as first share and if pixel in the secret image is black, corresponding pixel in second share would be inverse of the same pixel in first share.
