| A color model is some particular way of representing color values. Usually a color model defines a color as a position in a three dimensional coordinate system, such as the RGB (red, green, blue) model. The RGB model is common because it matches the way colors are produced on display monitors. However other color models, such as those based on hue, saturation and lightness (HSL) more closely match the manner in which people describe colors and are becoming popular in user interfaces. | |||||
