I never had to do this before and never even thought about this before. How can i or what is the best way of storing RGB values in the database.

I thought of couple of options. The most obvious one being 3 byte columns to store the R,G and the B.(I dont want to go this route)
Another option is to store it in a 32 bit int column. ( I am leaning towards this one)

or may be i am just missing something trivial.

    The “wasted” space of 32-bit integer column would allow you to store an alpha channel as well, should the need ever arise for it.
