VARIOUS COLOR MODEL
INTUITIVE COLOR CONCEPTS
An artist creates a color painting by mixing color pigments with white and black pigments to form the various shades, tints, and tones in the scene. Starting with the pigment for a "pure color" (or "pure hue"), the artist adds a black pigment to produce different shades of that color. The more black pigment, the darker the shade. Similarly, different tints of the color are obtained by adding a white pigment to the original color, making it lighter as more white is added. Tones of the color are produced by adding both black and white pigments.
To many, these color concepts are more intuitive than describing a color as a set of three numbers that give the relative proportions of the primary colors. It is generally much easier to think of making n color lighter by adding white and making a color darker by adding black. Therefore. graphics packages providing color palettes to a user often employ two or more color models. One model provides an intuitive color interface for the user, and others describe the color components for the output devices.
