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. Amplitude E() Frequency: * Red: 3.8x10" hertz * Violet: 7.9x10!4 hertz velength: 700 nm 400 nm * Red: 700 nm * Violet: 400 nm 10 1 1 Qe IOH 0H 149 Frequency (Ha) wavelength (om) 1910910" 408 107108 10 1" t+ 908 AM radio /microwave) uiraviolet \ gamma rays Fiiradio, TV infared xrays 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 color Subtractive 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 pigments RGB (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, wa Ao..0) a Aioe) Yellow 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. ve 2, Each color point within the bounds of the cube is represented as the triple (C,M,Y).where value for C,M,Y are also assigned. in the range from 0 to 1. Here CMY color also place together at 120 degree. CYAN+ MAGENTA + YELLO = BLACK (contribute) All other colors are generated from these three primary colors. RGB vs CMY Ifthe intensities are represented as O
