| Color Spaces |
"A color space is a model for representing color numerically in
terms of three or more coordinates. e.g. The RGB color space represents colors in terms of
the Red, Green and Blue coordinates. For color to be reproduced in a predictable
manner across different devices and materials, it has to be described in a way that is
independent of the specific behavior of the mechanisms and materials used to produce it.
For instance, color CRTs and color printers use very different mechanisms for producing
color. To address this issue, current methods require that color be described using device
independent color coordinates, which are translated into device dependent color
coordinates for each device." - Michael Stokes et al. |
