• Intuitive colour concepts

An Intuitive Color Concepts is Color paintings which is created by mixing color


pigments with white and black pigments to form the various shades, tints and
tones.

• color models in computer graphics


Color spaces are the mathematical representation of a set of colors.
There are many color models. Some of them are RGB, CMYK, YIQ, HSV,
and HLS, etc. These color spaces are directly related to saturation and
brightness. All of these color spaces can be derived using RGB
information using devices such as cameras and scanners.

RGB stands for Red, Green, and Blue. This color space is widely used in
computer graphics. RGB are the main colors from which many colors can
be made.
➢ RGB: The RGB colour model is the most common colour model
used in Digital image processing and openCV. The colour image
consists of 3 channels. One channel each for one colour. Red,
Green and Blue are the main colour components of this model. All
other colours are produced by the proportional ratio of these
three colours only.

Colour combination:
Green(255) + Red(255) = Yellow
Green(255) + Blue(255) = Cyan
Red(255) + Blue(255) = Magenta
Red(255) + Green(255) + Blue(255) = White
CMYK Color Model
CMYK stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. CMYK color model is
used in electrostatic and ink-jet plotters which deposits the pigmentation
on paper. In these model, specified color is subtracted from the white
light rather than adding blackness. It follows the Cartesian coordinate
system and its subset is a unit cube.

HSV Color Model


HSV stands for Hue, Saturation, and Value (brightness). It is a hexcone
subset of the cylindrical coordinate system. The human eye can see 128
different hues, 130 different saturations and number values between 16
(blue) and 23 (yellow).
HLS Color Model
HLS stands for Hue Light Saturation. It is a double hexcone subset. The
maximum saturation of hue is S= 1 and L= 0.5. It is conceptually easy for
people who want to view white as a point.
