Rgb and Cmy color model

RGB COLOR MODEL
• RGB color stands for RED,GREEN and BLUE. This color model is used in computer
monitors, television sets,
and theater. It's an additive color model.
• Additive color model means is that where we can combine these three basic color in
various ways to get a new color.

RGB COLOR MODEL CONT.
When we will combine
RED+GREEN+BLUE=WHITE
Example:
R G B (Red, Green ,Blue) is of 8-bit each. Thus maximum
possible range by individual is 0-255 (as 2^8 = 256)
2

EXAMPLES RGB
• R(255)+G(255)+B(255) =W
• We get white while intersecting
• C (cyan) = G + B
• M (magenta) = R + B
• Y (yellow) = R + G
WHITE(max)
While we combined
“+” means additive
3

A subtractive color model.
CMYK refers to the four inks used in some color printing: cyan, magenta,
yellow and key (black).
Subtractive because, The ink reduces the light that would otherwise be
reflected. Inks subtract brightness from white.
Represent by value only 0 or 1
0 = no color 1= full color

CMY COLOR MODEL

EXAMPLES CMY
“-” means subtractive
C (cyan) = W - R
M (magenta) = W - G
Y (yellow) = W – B
Key color black(max) 5

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN RGB
AND CMY (SIGHT DIFFERENCE)
6

AND CMY CONT.
CMYK is a four-color mode that utilizes the colors cyan,
magenta, yellow and black in various amounts to create
all of the necessary colors
RGB is an additive type of color mode that combines the
primary colors, red, green and blue, in varying levels, to
create a variety of different colors.
RGB is vibrant
Whereas CMYK is not vibrant but good for reading
7

AND CMY CONT.
In RGB, when all three colors are combined and displayed
to their full extent, the result is a pure white.
In CMYK, when the first three colors are added together,
the result is not pure black, but rather a very dark brown.
CMYK is the primary color model used by color printers.
RGB is the typical color model used on electronic devices
such as computers, theaters etc.

CONVERSION POLICY
(RGB TO CMYK)
There is a core formula if we want to convert.
The R,G,B values are divided by 255 to change the range from 0..255 to 0..1:
• R' = R/255
• G' = G/255
• B' = B/255

CONVERSION POLICY
(RGB TO CMYK) CONT.
• The black key (K) color is calculated from the red (R'), green (G') and blue (B') colors:
• K = 1-max(R', G', B')
• The cyan color (C) is calculated from the red (R') and black (K) colors:
• C = (1-R'-K) / (1-K)
• The magenta color (M) is calculated from the green (G') and black (K) colors:
• M = (1-G'-K) / (1-K)
• The yellow color (Y) is calculated from the blue (B') and black (K) colors:
• Y = (1-B'-K) / (1-K)
10

EXAMPLE
• Lets think There is RGB value for violate(100,50,150)
•We want to convert it into CMYK
According to formula….
R’ =100/255 =0.392
G’ =50/255 =0.196
B’ =150/255 =0.588
Lets find the key for CMY
K =(1-0.588)=0.412 [Because this the largest value among given result]
(1-K) =0.588 [Will require later]
