The contrast ranges from black at the weakest intensity to white at the strongest. [1] Grayscale images are distinct from one-bit bi-tonal black-and-white images, which, in the context of computer imaging, are images with only two colors: black and white (also called bilevel or binary images). Grayscale images have many shades of gray in between.
The test chart shows the full 256 levels of the red, green, and blue (RGB) primary colors and cyan, magenta, and yellow complementary colors, along with a full 256-level grayscale. Gradients of RGB intermediate colors (orange, lime green, sea green, sky blue, violet, and fuchsia), and a full hue spectrum are also present.
In photography, painting, and other visual arts, middle gray or middle grey is a tone that is perceptually about halfway between black and white on a lightness scale; [1] in photography and printing, it is typically defined as 18% reflectance in visible light. [2] [3]
Duotone, the use of two ink colors in printing; Halftone, the use of black and white in a pattern that is perceived as shades of grey (may be extended also to color images) Monochromacy, a type of color vision deficiency; Monochromatic color; Monochrome monitor, used with computers; Monochrome photography, also known as black-and-white photography
The white point, which defaults to D50, can be changed by ICC profile. CIELAB D50 is available in ICC profiles as a profile connection space named "Lab color space". [2] CIELAB (any white point) is a supported color space in TIFF image files. [17] CIELAB (any white point) is available in PDF documents, where it is called the "Lab color space ...
In principle, one wants to scale all relative luminances in an image so that objects which are believed to be neutral appear so. If, say, a surface with = was believed to be a white object, and if 255 is the count which corresponds to white, one could multiply all red values by 255/240.
2 colors, often black and white direct color. Sometimes 1 meant black and 0 meant white, the inverse of modern standards. Most of the first graphics displays were of this type, the X Window System was developed for such displays, and this was assumed for a 3M computer. In the late 1980s there were professional displays with resolutions up to ...
In the 320×200 graphics mode, every pixel has two bits. A value of 0 is always a selectable background-plus-border color (with the same register and/or BIOS call used for the foreground color in the 640×200 graphic mode; black by default), and the three remaining values 1 to 3 are indices to one of the predefined color palette entries.
