    These weather systems can produce dry lightning, fire tornadoes, intense winds, and dirty hail. ... [69] causing it to radiate with a brilliant, blue-white color ...

  3. HSL and HSV - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HSL_and_HSV

    Fig. 1. HSL (a–d) and HSV (e–h). Above (a, e): cut-away 3D models of each. Below: two-dimensional plots showing two of a model's three parameters at once, holding the other constant: cylindrical shells (b, f) of constant saturation, in this case the outside surface of each cylinder; horizontal cross-sections (c, g) of constant HSL lightness or HSV value, in this case the slices halfway ...

  4. Electric blue (color) - Wikipedia

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

    Electric blue is a color whose definition varies but is often considered close to cyan, and which is a representation of the color of lightning, an electric spark, and the color of ionized argon gas; it was originally named after the ionized air glow produced during electrical discharges, though its meaning has broadened to include shades of blue that are metaphorically "electric" by virtue of ...

  5. Lightness - Wikipedia

    Both systems use coordinate triples, where many triples can map onto the same color. In HSV, all triples with value 0 are pure black. If the hue and saturation are held constant, then increasing the value increases the luminance, such that a value of 1 is the lightest color with the given hue and saturation.

  6. Ionized-air glow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionized-air_glow

    Nitrogen glow Oxygen glow Electrical discharge in air Particle beam from a cyclotron. Ionized-air glow is the luminescent emission of characteristic blue–purple–violet light, often of a color called electric blue, by air subjected to an energy flux either directly or indirectly from solar radiation.

  7. Visual approach slope indicator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_approach_slope...

    Tri-color VASI. A tri-color system consists of a single-light unit projecting a three-color visual approach path. Below the glide path is indicated by red, on the glide path is indicated by green, and above the glide path is indicated by amber. When descending below the glide path, there is a small area of dark amber.

  8. Sprite (lightning) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprite_(lightning)

    A sprite over Southeast Asia as seen from space.. Sprites or red sprites are large-scale electric discharges that occur in the mesosphere, high above thunderstorm clouds, or cumulonimbus, giving rise to a varied range of visual shapes flickering in the night sky.

  9. Color temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_temperature

    Color temperature is a parameter describing the color of a visible light source by comparing it to the color of light emitted by an idealized opaque, non-reflective body. The temperature of the ideal emitter that matches the color most closely is defined as the color temperature of the original visible light source.
