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
