Want I need is some way to say:

  1. byte = red
  2. byte = green
  3. byte = blue
    (1.)4. byte = red
    (2.)5. byte = green
    (3.)6. byte = blue

Something like
"R123B345G678"
?
Or, if you want hex, since B(lue) is a valid hex digit, call it "H" instead:
"R1AG2BHAF"
or something similar.
Delimiters are going to be a problem if you want to send just binary, since all the ASCII character values fall in the range 0..127.
