The Color Chooser
Click in the color spectrum to choose the color you want to apply.
As you can see in the picture above, two color system models are
used:
- HLS (Hue, Saturation, Luminance) model is an intuitive, easy to
use tool for describing or modifying a color.
|
Hue
|
is the "color" of the color. It is the name by
which the color is designated and is used to define the desired
color.
|
|
Saturation
|
is the intensity of the color. The higher the
number, the more intense the color. It is used to tune the purity
of the color.
|
|
Luminance
|
is the brightness of the color, i.e. the degree
to which the pure color is diluted by white or black. The larger
the number, the lighter the color. It is used to adjust
intensity.
|
- RGB (Red, Green, Blue) model is a more physical model. It is
based on the tri-stimulus theory of the human perception system.
This model is usually used to define, with a high precision, the
three primary components of the color.
