Saturation & colour models

About saturation and colour models
  • The concept of saturation is most comprehensible when connected to a particular colour model.
  • Examples of colour models include:
    • CMY colour model
    • HSB colour model
    • RGB colour model
    • Spectral colour model
  • In the HSB colour model, the term saturation (S) is used alongside hue (H) and brightness (B).
  • Some colour models don’t use the term saturation at all.
  • When changing from one colour model to another, it’s best to change terminology at the same time.
