Colour model

  • A colour model, underpinned by a colour theory, provides a precise and replicable approach to understanding:
    • How the human eye perceives light and interprets colour.
    • Different types of colour such as the colours produced when mixing lights, pigments or inks.
    • How to manage the diverse ways colour is processed by equipment such as cameras, digital screens and printers.
  • Whether or not we recognize it, whenever we are working with colour, we are adopting a colour theory, a colour model and a colour space.
