The Natural Colour System (NCS) is a proprietary perceptual color model. It is based on the color opponency hypothesis of color vision, first proposed by German physiologist Ewald Hering. [1] The current version of the NCS was developed by the Swedish Colour Centre Foundation, from 1964 onwards.
Color (or colour in Commonwealth English; see spelling differences) is the visual perception based on the electromagnetic spectrum. Though color is not an inherent property of matter, color perception is related to an object's light absorption, reflection, emission spectra, and interference.
Aluminum pigments. Ultramarine (PB29): a synthetic or naturally occurring sulfur containing silicate mineral - Na 8–10 Al 6 Si 6 O 24 S 2–4 (generalized formula); Persian blue: made by grinding up the mineral Lapis lazuli.
Monochrome photography is photography where each position on an image can record and show a different amount of light (), but not a different color ().The majority of monochrome photographs produced today are black-and-white, either from a gelatin silver process, or as digital photography.
sRGB is intended as a common color space for the creation of images for viewing on the Internet and World Wide Web (WWW). The resultant color space closely approximates a Gamma correction of 2.2, [7] the average response of a CRT display to linear voltage levels.
A color in a color space is defined as a combination of its primaries, where each primary must give a non-negative contribution. Any color space based on a finite number of real primaries is incomplete in that it cannot reproduce every color within the gamut of the standard observer.

Leaves change color in the fall because their chromophores (chlorophyll molecules) break down and stop absorbing red and blue light. [1] A chromophore is a molecule which absorbs light at a particular wavelength and reflects color as a result. Chromophores are commonly referred to as colored molecules for this reason.
