Study Notes

RGB Color Model

  • Also known as "additive color"
  • Colors are added together to achieve further colors, with the outcome being white
  • Our eyes receive no reflected light, perceiving black when no colors are added

CMYK Color Model

  • Subtractive color model
  • Starts with all colors and subtracts to achieve white
  • Colors absorb light

When to Use RGB vs CMYK

  • Use RGB for computer monitor output
  • Use CMYK for printed materials

HSL Color Model

  • Supported in modern browsers
  • Stands for Hue, Saturation, and Lightness
  • Hue is a degree on the color wheel (0-360)
  • Saturation is the intensity of a color (0-100%)
  • Lightness is how much light is given to the color (0-100%)

HSV Color Model

  • Alternative way of specifying color
  • Hue is the actual color (0-360)
  • Saturation indicates the amount of grey in a color (0-100%)
  • Value (brightness) refers to how much white or black is mixed in the color

HSL vs HSV

  • HSL: maximum lightness is pure white
  • HSV: maximum value/brightness is shining a white light on a colored object

LAB or CIE Color Model

  • L: lightness from black (0) to white (100)
  • A: from green (-128) to red (+127)
  • B: from blue (-128) to yellow (+127)

YUV Color Model

  • Defines a color space in terms of one Luma (Y) and two chrominance (UV) components
  • Can separate brightness and color information
  • Luma is derived from an RGB color by taking a weighted average of the red, green, and blue components

Color

  • A particular color is defined by the proportions of red, green, and blue light it contains
  • TVs and computer monitors use pixels made up of three dots of different types of phosphor, emitting red, green, and blue light

RGB Color Storage

  • Represent any color with three numbers (r, g, b)
  • Use as pixel's stored value in bitmapped image
  • Can choose number of bits for each of r, g, and b
  • More bits per component means more colors can be distinguished, but image files will be larger

Color Depth

  • 8 bits (1 byte) per component -> 256 colors
  • 24-bit -> millions of colors
  • If r = g = b, color is a shade of grey

Indexed Color

  • 8-bit color only permits 256 colors
  • Instead of storing (r, g, b) for each pixel, store an index into a palette or Color Lookup Table (CLUT)
  • Index can be small, usually a single byte
