  2. Munsell color system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munsell_color_system

    The Munsell color system, showing: a circle of hues at value 5 chroma 6; the neutral values from 0 to 10; and the chromas of purple-blue (5PB) at value 5. In colorimetry, the Munsell color system is a color space that specifies colors based on three properties of color: hue (basic color), value ( lightness ), and chroma (color intensity).

  3. Shades of purple - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shades_of_purple

    The color purple, as defined in the X11 color names in 1987, is brighter and bluer than the HTML/CSS web color purple shown above as purple (HTML/CSS color). This is one of the very few clashes between web and X11 colors . This color can be called X11 purple . Veronica prostrata, for which the color veronica is named.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Using_colours

    The method used for selecting the colours for various top-level pages, e.g. Main Page, Community Portal, Contents, and Help:Contents. The 3 colours are generated using the HSV colour space, then translated into RGB. Note: for layouts with no spacing between borders, use the darker border colour.

  6. Metamerism (color) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metamerism_(color)

    Metamerism (color) In column 1, a ball is illuminated by monochromatic light. Multiplying the spectrum by the cones' spectral sensitivity curves gives the response for each cone type. In column 2, metamerism is used to simulate the scene with blue, green and red LEDs, giving a similar response. In colorimetry, metamerism is a perceived matching ...

  7. Line of purples - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_of_purples

    In color theory, the line of purples or purple boundary is the locus on the edge of the chromaticity diagram formed between extreme spectral red and violet. Except for these endpoints of the line, colors on the line are non-spectral (no monochromatic light source can generate them). Rather, every color on the line is a unique mixture in a ratio ...

  8. Color vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_vision

    An element C of H color is a function from the range of visible wavelengths—considered as an interval of real numbers [W min,W max]—to the real numbers, assigning to each wavelength w in [W min,W max] its intensity C(w). A humanly perceived color may be modeled as three numbers: the extents to which each of the 3 types of cones is stimulated.

  9. Natural Color System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_Color_System

    The NCS color model is based on the three pairs of elementary colors ( white – black, green – red, and yellow – blue ), as defined by color opponency. The Natural Color 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]
