A color model is a specification of a 3D color co-ordinate
system and a visible subset in the co-ordinate System within
all colors in a particular color range lie.
There are main four types of color models:-
(1) RGB
(2) CMY
(3) CMYK
(4) YIQ
This four models are hardware oriented color models.
But these models are not easy to use because they does not
relate directly to intuitive color notations of hue,saturation and
brightness.
Therefore another class of color model has been developed.
These includes :- HSV
HLS
HVC
The human eye can perceive about 382000(!) different colors.
The distance between two color in the color cube is not a
measure.
White light consists of a spectrum of all visible colors.
All kinds of light can be described by the energy of each
wavelength.
Most light we see is not just a single wavelength, but a
combination of many wavelengths like below. This profile is
often referred to as a spectrum, or spectral power distribution.
Frequency:
• Red: 3.8x1014 hertz
• Violet: 7.9x1014 hertz
Wavelength:
• Red: 700 nm
• Violet: 400 nm
When we combine
Red(two-thirds),
Green(two-third),
Blue(one-third)
then we can get WHITE
color.
But we can absorbs CMY
color from this RGB color
then we can get BLACK
color
When we combine
CYAN,
MAGENTA,
YELLOW
then we can get BLACK
color.
But we can absorbs RGB
color from this CMY color
then we can get WHITE
color.
Color mixing created by an artist.
Shades, tints and tones in scene can be produced by mixing
color pigments (hues) with white and black pigments.
 Shades:
• Add black pigment to pure color
• The more black pigment, the darker the shade
 Tints:
• Add white pigment to the original color
• Making it lighter as more white is added
 Tones:
• Produced by adding both black and white pigments
The RGB color model used in color CRT monitors.
In this model,
Red,Green and Blue are added together to get the resultant
color WHITE.
Each color point within the bounds of the cube is represented
as the triple (R,G,B).where value for R,G,B are assigned in the
range from 0 to 1.
Here RGB color place together at 120 degree.
RED + GREEN + BLUE = WHITE(contribute)
All other colors are generated from these three primary colors.
The CMY color model used in color printing devices.
In this model,
Cyan,Magenta and Yellow are added together to get the
resultant color BLACK.
Each color point within the bounds of the cube is represented
as the triple (C,M,Y).where value for C,M,Y are also assigned
in the range from 0 to 1.
Here CMY color also place together at 120 degree.
CYAN+ MAGENTA + YELLO = BLACK(contribute)
All other colors are generated from these three primary colors.
If the intensities are represented as 0≤r,g,b≤1 and 0≤c,m,y≤1
then the relation between RGB and CMY can be described as:

For printing & art industry the CMY model is not enough.
So,Fourth primary color K is added to CMY model.
K stands for BLACK color.
The YIQ color model is a recoding of RGB color model.
YIQ color model is used for television broadcasting.
The
Y-channel contains luminance information(sufficient for Black
& White television sets)
And
I-channel & Q-channel contains color information.
For recoding RGB to YIQ , HSV & HLS color models are
used.
Inphase = RED – YELLOW
Quadrature = BLUE – YELLOW
HSV and HLS are the two most common cylindrical-
coordinate representations of points in an RGB color model.
HSV is described by a hexacone derived from the RGB cube.
Hue means color is mapped into 0-360’.The wavelength of
Hue is 128.
Saturation is defined into 0-1.In this the amount of WHITE
color is 130.
Value is defined into 0-1.In this the amount of BLACK
color is 23
