Description
Hello,
Is it possible to have support for different color modes like 12 and 18 bit?
I found `b"\x3a\x01\x05" # COLMOD - 16bit color` in the init sequence.
I expect it is not enough to change this to `b"\x3a\x01\x03" to get 12 bit support. Data send to the display also needs to be in a different format.

Research direction
Start with the initialization sequence containing the COLMOD command and trace how pixel data is formatted and sent to the display. Determine the required formats for 12- and 18-bit modes, then verify that each selected color mode initializes correctly and displays the expected colors.
