Shade: for a given color, make it darker (basically, add pure black) and you'll have a shade of that original color.Tint: for a given color, make it lighter (basically, add pure white) and you'll have a tint of that original color.Now, after you've got your color nailed down, your other terms: With Lab, you can plot every single color that's possible in RGB and CMYK, so it's useful as an intermediate step in converting digital graphics for print. Lab: This is a way to plot a color based on its Lightness, amount of green or magenta ( a), and amount of blue or yellow ( b), a model that closely approximates human vision. More on those differences in this Wikipedia article. In Photoshop and elsewhere you'll see HSB (for Brightness which is in practice the same as HSV for Value) and HSI, which are both similar but not identical to HSL. You can play with an HSL color picker at MothereffingHSL. Lightness: Is it closer to white, or closer to black?.Saturation: Is the color purely, say, red, or is it muted down with some combination of gray? Totally saturated is red, totally unsaturated is gray (or white or black, depending on the…).Hue: is it red or blue or anything in between? If you consider spectrum of visible light, hue determines on which point of the spectrum the color roughly is.HSL: A way to express a color in terms of its: Theoretically Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow components would be enough to make all colors, but it's cheaper and faster to use dedicated black ink for dark colors and shades of gray. This is also called subtractive color (when you add more ink, you get closer to black) and is what you'll see for printers or anything else that uses ink, pigments, or paint. CMYK: The combination of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and black ink or paint that will reflect a certain color.This is also called additive color (when you add more light, you get closer to white) and is what you'll see for digital cameras, televisions, monitors, and anything that emits light in general instead of needing an external light source to illuminate it.
RGB: The combination of red, green, and blue light that forms a color.What we typically call a "color" (like, 'red' or 'orange') can be expressed in a variety of different ways: First, many of your terms come from the many different ways to express a color.
