properties
What do we see?
• Visible electromagnetic radiation• The type of electromagnetic wave that is
visible to the human eye.• Electromagnetic radiation that has a
wavelength in the range from about 4,000 (violet) to about 7,700 (red) angstroms and may be perceived by the normal unaided human eye.

Electromagnetic radiation
• Electromagnetic radiation is a kind of energy radiated in the form of a wave
• The frequency define the energy– E = h – And the hue: = c
Electromagnetic spectrum and the visible light spectrum
What is color?
• It is a sensation• “Color is actually light waves that hit our eyes,
translated into nerve impulses, and interpreted by our brains as all the various colors around us.”
• Three components: RGB• Cones
– Reds (low frequency)– Greens (medium frequency)– Blues (high frequency)

Mixing colors
Primary and secondary colors
Additive Colors
Subtractive Colors
Color spaces
• Systems to define colors numerically• Device oriented
– RGB– CMY– YIQ
• Human oriented– HSV– CIE
(1, 1, 0) Yellow
(0, 1, 0) Green
(1, 0, 0) Red
(1, 0, 1)Magenta
(0, 0, 1) Blue (0, 1, 1) Cyan
(1, 1, 1)White
(0, 0, 0)Black
RGB
• Additive model– Intensity of the three
components
RGB
• Features– It is used by hardware devices
• True color: 2563 = 16.777.216
– It is a standard on computing• bgcolor="#FFFFFF”
• Problems– Their variations are not lineal– It isn’t intuitive
(1, 1, 0) Blue
(0, 1, 0) Magenta
(1, 0, 0) Cyan
(0, 0, 1) Yellow (0, 1, 1) Red
(1, 1, 1)Black
(0, 0, 0)White
(1, 0, 1)Green
CMY
• Subtractive model
CMY
• Complementary of RGB[CMY] = [1,1,1] - [RGB]
• Used in printing
• Use of CMYK– Black (K) is added
HSV
• Projection of RGB diagram about the biggest diagonal
• Polar coordinates– Hue
– Saturation
– Value or brightness
• Transformation to RGB (no lineal)

HLS
• Two cones joined, with white on the upper vertex
• Variation of HSV– L: lightness

YIQ
• Lineal transformation of RGB
• Used by the NTSC (National Television Standards Committee)
• Y is brightness (used in black-and-white television monitors)

CIE Diagram

CIE
• 1931: measurement of color by the CIE (Commission International de L'Eclairage)
• Based on Tristimulus Vision Theory
• Represents any color detected by the human being
Definition of CIE diagram
• Experimentally– Red (700 nm)– Green (546,1 nm)– Blue (435,8 nm)
• There is negative values (added the primary to the sample)– They can’t be used– It is made adding the primary to the
sample

The three standard primaries of CIE
• They are not real colors
• The functions are defined in tabular form (at 1 nm interval)
• They are standards to define colors

CIE XYZ
• One color is defined by the X, Y, Z components.
• The projection on the XY plane produces the CIE Chromatic Diagram.
X
Y
Z
CIE xyY
• Normalizing the values:x + y + z = 1
• Y is the luminance information
– function y() was chosen in this way

Properties of CIE diagram
• Gamut of different devices
• The periphery is the spectrum colors
• The purple line are non-spectral colors
• The spectral component of a color is calculated with the line to the center
