COLOR MODELS
Accolor model is a specification of a 3D color co-ordinate
system and a visible subset in the co-ordinate System within
all colors in a particular color range lic.
There are main four types of color models:~
(1) RGB
(2) CMY
(G) CMYK
(4) YIQ
This four models are hardware oriented color models.
But these models are not easy to use because they does not
relate directly to intuitive color notations of hue,saturation and
brightness.
Therefore another class of color model has been developed.
These includes :- HSV
HLS
HVC
The human eye can perceive about 382000(!) different colors.
The distance between two color in the color cube is not a
measure,Physical properties of light
White light consists of a spectrum of all visible colors.
All kinds of light can be described by the energy of each
wavelength,
Most light we see is not just a single wavelength, but a
combination of many wavelengths like below. This profile is
often referred to as a spectrum, or spectral power distribution.

Additive color mixing
When we combine
Red(two-th
Green(two-third),
Blue(one-third)
then we can get WHITE
color.
But we can absorbs CMY
color from this RGB color
then we can get BLACK
colorSubtractive color mixing
When we combine
CYAN,
MAGENTA,
YELLOW
then we can get BLACK
color,
Suberactive primaries and color mixing
But we can absorbs RGB
color from this CMY color
then we can get WHITE
color.
Intuitive color concept
Color mixing created by an artist.
Shades, tints and tones in scene can be produced by mixing
color pigments (hues) with white and black pigments,
= Shades:
* Add black pigment to pure color
* The more black pigment, the darker the shade
* Tints:
+ Add white pigment to the original color
* Making it lighter es more white is added
= Tones:
+ Produced by adding both black and white pigmentsRGB (Red,Green,Blue) color model
The RGB color model used in color CRT monitors.
In this model,
Red,Green and Blue are added together to get the resultant
color WHITE,

Each color point within the bounds of the cube is represented
as the triple (R,G,B).where value for R,G,B are assigned in the
range from 0 to 1.
Here RGB color place together at 120 degree,
RED + GREEN + BLUE = WHITE(contribute)
All other colors are generated from these three primary colors.CMY (Cyan,Magenta,Yellow) color model _
The CMY color model used in color printing devices.
In this model,
Cyan, Magenta and Yellow are added together to get the
resultant color BLACK.

Here CMY color also place together at 120 degree.
