  2. Munsell color system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munsell_color_system

    In practice, color charts conventionally specify 40 hues, in increments of 2.5, progressing as for example 10R to 2.5YR. Two colors of equal value and chroma, on opposite sides of a hue circle, are complementary colors, and mix additively to the neutral gray of the same value. The diagram below shows 40 evenly spaced Munsell hues, with ...

  3. Hue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hue

    The concept of a color system with a hue was explored as early as 1830 with Philipp Otto Runge's color sphere. The Munsell color system from the 1930s was a great step forward, as it was realized that perceptual uniformity means the color space can no longer be a sphere. As a convention, the hue for red is set to 0° for most color spaces with ...

    The cylindrical coordinates C* (chroma, relative saturation) and h° (hue angle, angle of the hue in the color wheel) are specified. The CIELAB and CIELUV coordinate L* (lightness) remains unchanged. The newer UCS systems can also be applied to a similar transform.

  5. Color model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_model

    The "Preucil hue error" of an ink indicates the difference in the "hue circle" between its color and the hue of the corresponding idealized ink color. The grayness of an ink is m / M , where m and M are the minimum and maximum among the amounts of idealized cyan, magenta, and yellow in a density measurement.

  6. Chromaticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromaticity

    Some color spaces separate the three dimensions of color into one luminance dimension and a pair of chromaticity dimensions. For example, the white point of an sRGB display is an x , y chromaticity of (0.3127, 0.3290), where x and y coordinates are used in the xyY space.

  7. Color space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_space

    HSV (hue, saturation, value), also known as HSB (hue, saturation, brightness) is often used by artists because it is often more natural to think about a color in terms of hue and saturation than in terms of additive or subtractive color components. HSV is a transformation of an RGB color space, and its components and colorimetry are relative to ...

  8. Color wheel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_wheel

    Gradient RGB/CMY color wheel Seven-color and twelve-color color circles from 1708 (attributed to Claude Boutet) Wilhelm von Bezold's 1874 Farbentafel. A color wheel or color circle [1] is an abstract illustrative organization of color hues around a circle, which shows the relationships between primary colors, secondary colors, tertiary colors etc.

  9. HCL color space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HCL_color_space

    HCL (Hue-Chroma-Luminance) or LCh refers to any of the many cylindrical color space models that are designed to accord with human perception of color with the three parameters. Lch has been adopted by information visualization practitioners to present data without the bias implicit in using varying saturation .
