It is a way of encoding RGB information, and the actual color displayed depends on the actual RGB colorants used to display the signal. Therefore, a value expressed as Y′UV is only predictable if standard RGB colorants are used (i.e. a fixed set of primary chromaticities, or particular set of red, green, and blue).
Judd was the first to employ this type of transformation, and many others were to follow. Converting this RGB space to chromaticities one finds [4] [clarification needed The following formulae do not agree with u=R/(R+G+B) and v=G/(R+G+B)] Judd's UCS, with the Planckian locus and the isotherms from 1,000K to 10,000K, perpendicular to the locus.
YCbCr is sometimes abbreviated to YCC.Typically the terms Y′CbCr, YCbCr, YPbPr and YUV are used interchangeably, leading to some confusion. The main difference is that YPbPr is used with analog images and YCbCr with digital images, leading to different scaling values for U max and V max (in YCbCr both are ) when converting to/from YUV.
The three values of the YCoCg color model are calculated as follows from the three color values of the RGB color model: [2] [] = [] [] The values of Y are in the range from 0 to 1, while Co and Cg are in the range of −0.5 to 0.5, as is typical with "YCC" color models such as YCbCr.
The analogue YUV and digital YCbCr refer to a variety of linear methods to try to separate lightness from chroma signals in an RGB input using linear combination. As the input RGB values are gamma-corrected, such a separation does not truly produce lightness and two chroma signals, but a "luma" signal and two "chrominance" signals instead.
For example, applying a histogram equalization directly to the channels in an RGB image would alter the color balance of the image. Instead, the histogram equalization is applied to the Y channel of the YIQ or YUV representation of the image, which only normalizes the brightness levels of the image.

This is achieved by encoding RGB image data into a composite black and white image, with separated color difference data . For example with Y ′ C b C r {\displaystyle Y'C_{b}C_{r}} , gamma encoded R ′ G ′ B ′ {\displaystyle R'G'B'} components are weighted and then summed together to create the luma Y ′ {\displaystyle Y'} component.
