Why is the texture from TextureEye in BGR instead of RGB?

Software Unity

For a project I am projecting the Texture2d “TextureEye” from the ZEDRenderingPlane onto a plane. Now a strange property I do not understand is that the texture apparently uses BGR colours instead of RGB? E.g. I have to swizzle the colours first.
Obviously this isn’t a problem, but I would like to understand why this is the case at all?

Hi,

The ZED SDK retrieves the image in BGR format, that’s why.
