Question

following this link i was able to load and read pixels from a .gif. That question specifically askes for a RGB value, but the accepted (and most voted answer) that I used as reference gets me to get an int as value. What is it? I guess some sort of index, but how to convert it to a proper rgb value? Thanks

img = Image.open(GIF_FILENAME)
pix = img.load()
for i in range(5):
    print img.getpixel((i, 0))
    # this returns me like 78, 65.. how to get RGB?
