Color Models
Okay, so our visual system is quite limited
But maybe this is good news. . .
We can avoid computing and reproducing the full color spectrum since people only have 3 color channels
- TV would be much more complex if we perceived the full spectrum
- transmission would require much higher bandwidths
- display would require much more complex methods
- real-time color 3D graphics is feasible
- any scheme for describing color requires only three values
- lots of different color spaces--related by 3x3 matrix transformations
