I was wondering the same..
>>> - Shift bits left to right. The shift operation is unsigned and the vacant bits of the result are filled with zeros.

This is the logical right shift. Used to shift bits to the right with the specified amount. Only really useful if you're trying to remove the alpha channel from a color to use it as an embedded color.
Suppose you have 0xFF0000FF, which is red. Shifting this to right by 8 would yield 0xFF0000 which can be used as embedded color.
