A three-dimensional geometric representation of the colors that can be seen and/or generated using a certain color model.
a geometric representation of colors in space, usually of three dimensions
a means of representing the three components of a color in terms of a position in a (usually) three dimensional space
a model for representing color numerically in terms of three or more coordinates
a particular instance of a color model that describes the specific colors you will get for each combination of numbers (red, green and blue in this case)
a system for representing a color using some characteristic set of axes
a three-dimensional space in which colors are located in accordance with a prescribed manner
A color space is a particular language used to describe color. Examples of color spaces are: RGB, CMYK, HSB, CIE LAB.
Scheme for representing color as data. Most color space models define color in three dimensions.
A dimensional representation of the visual color spectrum by which all color information is referenced. The expectation of the artist and photographer as to printable color must be tempered by the papers and inks and their capabilities and limitations.
A three-dimensional space or model into which the three attributes of a color can be represented, plotted, or recorded. These attributes are usually called hue, value, and chroma.
A geometric representation that describes a domain of visible or producible colors in any color model.
mathematical model which describes colors. Common models include RGB, CMYK, HSV, and YUV.
mathematical model of color as a three dimensional space using color terms as the axis
A method that reproduces a specific color. Additive primary colors (red, green, and blue) are used by the scanner, and subtractive primary colors (cyan, magenta, and yellow) plus black are used for printing press separation.
A system for ordering colors that respects the relationships of similarity among them. There are variety of different color spaces, but they are all three dimensional.
The complete range of colors that can be represented by a given device. Color space can be reprogrammed on some devices, including digital cinema projectors, to enable different looks for different content. During replay in cinemas, the same color space should be selected on the projector as was used during original mastering. Standards are in process for a common color space.
A conceptual space in which colors are represented by discrete numerical values, almost always with a basis in the human visual system. RGB, YC, YIQ, YUV and CIE XYZ are all examples of three-dimensional color spaces; CMYK is a four-dimensional example. Physical color, as in sunlight reflecting off leaves, can only be approximated by discrete values;[109] it is more accurately modeled as a function--specifically, intensity as a function of wavelength.[109] Actually, one could imagine measuring the wavelength of every photon; the sum of all such measurements over a given interval of time (the ``exposure'') and at a given location on electronic film (a `` pixel'') would be a humongous list of discrete values. Within the limits of quantum mechanics (for a given pixel size, the wavelength can only be measured to a certain precision), it would be a completely accurate representation of physical color.
Each color model has a different size or range of colors, which is described as its color space. The RGB color space is much larger than the color space of the CMYK model. The Adobe 1998 color space is a larger space (contains more colors) then the sRGB color space, although both the Adobe RGB and sRGB are included in the RGB color model.
A predefined set of visible colors. sRGB and Adobe RGB (1998) are examples of two different color spaces. However, both are members of the RGB color model. For more in depth information, click here.
A space defined by three color components, such as R, G, and B.
A three-dimensional coordinate system, where coordinates in that system represent colors.
A system for specifying colors. The human visual system allows the description of all colors with the values of just three parameters; colors thus define an abstract volume. Exactly how coordinate axes are defined in the volume distinguishes color spaces from each other. For example, the set of phosphors and input values for each determines the color space of a monitor. The CIE has defined color spaces that attempt to more accurately reflect human perception of colors; the better known are referred to as CIEXYZ and CIELAB.
A particular variant of a color model with a specific gamut or range of colors, which is one of its chief characteristics. For example, within the color model RGB are a number of color spaces like Apple RGB, Adobe RGB (1998), and sRGB. While each of these define color by the same three axes (R, G, and B), they differ in gamut as well as other specific characteristics.
A model for representing color as three or more coordinates. Color-space models map color components onto a Cartesian coordinate system in three or more dimensions. A color space may use any of several types of color encoding and visualizing. The two most common types of color space models are RGB and YUV.
In an attempt to index colors in relation to one another it is common to rely upon a triaxial system. This section will address the various color spaces in common use today. We use the term 'space' because color data occur in three dimensions. Science and industry require precise color definition and classification. Words are imprecise to distinguish and describe color. For example, some of the few words that exclusively name colors are: white, black, gray, yellow, red, violet, blue, green, brown, and others. Many colors require compound names, quantifiers, and suffixes to differentiate colors. Examples are yellow-green, light green, greenish, and so forth.
Definition of color by theoretical three-dimensional graphing. Colors are determined by plotting points using particular values (such as red, green and blue). Used in most cases to represent the range of variations of particular color combinations, such as RGB or CMYK.
High resolution images that are uploaded to your PhotoSourceGROUP store should be saved in Adobe RGB.
The color range between specified references. Typically references are quoted in television: RGB, Y, R-Y, B-Y, YIQ, YUV and Hue Saturation and Luminance (HSL). In print, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black (CMYK) are used. Moving pictures between these is possible but requires careful attention to the accuracy of processing involved. Operating across the media--print, film and TV, as well as between computers and TV equipment--will require conversions in color space.
A theoretical three-dimensional color system in which the axes of color, hue, saturation and brightness can be represented.
A set of three values that defines how a color can be represented on computer devices such as monitors, scanners, and printers. For example, in the LAB color space, the terms luminance or whiteness (L), redness-greenness (A), and yellowness-blueness (B) are used; in the HVC system, the terms are hue (H), value (V), and chroma (C). Color space refers to the three-dimensional space that is defined by the respective values, such as L, A, and B. See also: CMYK color space; color space; RGB color space
A scheme of representation for color images, such as CMYK or RGB. Color are represented as a combination of a small set of other colors or by other parameters (like hue, saturation, and brightness).
A color model is an abstract mathematical model describing the way colors can be represented as tuples of numbers, typically as three or four values or color components (e.g. RGB and CMYK are color models). However, a color model with no associated mapping function to an absolute color space is a more or less arbitrary color system with little connection to the requirements of any given application.
