Brightness & colour models

About brightness & colour models

• The term brightness is often used in association with a specific colour model.
• Examples of colour models include:
  • HSB colour model
  • Spectral colour model
  • RGB colour model
  • CMYK colour model
• The HSB colour model uses the term brightness alongside hue and saturation.
• Some colour models don’t use the term brightness at all, so when we change from one colour model to another it’s best to change our terminology as well.
