  2. Colorfulness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorfulness

    Saturation is the "colorfulness of an area judged in proportion to its brightness", [6] [2] which in effect is the perceived freedom from whitishness of the light coming from the area. An object with a given spectral reflectance exhibits approximately constant saturation for all levels of illumination, unless the brightness is very high. [7]

  3. Tint, shade and tone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tint,_shade_and_tone

    Both processes affect the resulting color mixture's relative saturation. A tone is produced either by mixing a color with gray , or by both tinting and shading. [ 1 ] Mixing a color with any neutral color (including black, gray, and white) reduces the chroma , or colorfulness , while the hue (the relative mixture of red, green, blue, etc ...

    HSL (hue, saturation, lightness or luminance), also known as HSI (hue, saturation, intensity) or HSD (hue, saturation, darkness), is quite similar to HSV, with "lightness" replacing "brightness". The difference is that a perfectly light color in HSL is pure white; but a perfectly bright color in HSV is analogous to shining a white light on a ...

  5. Pastel (color) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pastel_(color)

    Pastels or pastel colors belong to a pale family of colors, which, when described in the HSV color space, have high value and low saturation. [1] [2] They are named after an artistic medium made from pigment and solid binding agents, similar to crayons. Pastel sticks historically tended to have lower saturation than paints of the same pigment ...

    An example of complementary colors would be magenta and green. [citation needed] A key assumption in Newton's hue circle was that the "fiery" or maximum saturated hues are located on the outer circumference of the circle, while achromatic white is at the center.

    Port with the disembarkation of Cleopatra in Tarsus (1642), by Claude Lorrain, Musée du Louvre, Paris. Light in painting fulfills several objectives like, both plastic and aesthetic: on the one hand, it is a fundamental factor in the technical representation of the work, since its presence determines the vision of the projected image, as it affects certain values such as color, texture and ...

    The NCS saturation ranges between 0 and 1. For the example color of S 2030-Y90R, the saturation is calculated as = / = / = / = NCS lightness (v) is a color's perceptual characteristic to contain more of the achromatic elementary colors black or white than another color. NCS lightness values varies from 0 for the elementary color black (S) to 1 ...
