Formats called something32 are 32-bit formats, they are the same regardless of endian 
when read in as 32bit integers. Formats that are called something8888 are bytewise 
formats and the same regardless of endian when reads a series of 8bit integers.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RGBA_color_space#Representation[1] 


BGRA32 is how RGBA8888 looks if you read it as 32bit integers on a little endian 
machine.
