Additive color mixing

• Grassman’s law
  among four colors there is a linear dependency
• three-dimensional space
  vector space: color space
  length of vector: luminance
  direction: chromaticity
  three linear independent basis vectors: primaries

tristimulus-system

• color equation
  $F=rR+gG+bB$

color models

• RGB, CMY(K)
  | |Primaries|Background|Sum|
  |–|--|–|--|
  |RGB| Red, Green, Blue|Black|White|
  |CMY(K)|Cyan, Magenta, Yellow| White|Black|
  RGB model is a unit cube
  From RGB to CMY:(C,M,Y) = (1,1,1)-(R,G,B)
• YIQ, YCrCb
  luminance+chromaticity
  luminance: Y =aR+bG+cB
  chromaticity: gray to red(R-Y) and gray to blue(B-Y)
  the difference are called Cr or I and Cb or Q
• HLS
  H=Hue色调, L=Lightness, S=Saturation饱和
  L is a value between 0 and 1
  Saturation is distance of a color to the center of the color circle
