MODEL (DROP-DOWN MENU)
Edit Color dialog box
From the Model drop-down menu, choose a color model for creating and
editing colors. For example, you can use the HSB or CMYK model to modify
a color created in the RGB model. You can also edit a spot color such as a
PANTONE, Toyo
®
, or DIC color using one of the other color definition mod-
els, but a spot color edited in this manner no longer matches the originally
selected version.
You can choose from among the following options:
•
RGB: An additive color system, usually used with slide recorders or color
video monitors. Red, green, and blue light is mixed to represent colors on a
video screen.
•
HSB: Resembles the manner in which artists mix colors, using hue, saturation,
and brightness. Hue describes color pigment; saturation measures the amount
of color pigment; and brightness measures the amount of black in a color.
•
LAB: Also referred to as “LAB color space” or “CIELAB.” A standard three-
dimensional model for representing colors. LAB is a color space designed to
be independent of differing interpretations imposed by monitor or printer
manufacturers. The LAB model used in QuarkXPress Server and QuarkXPress
uses the “D50 illuminant” to be consistent with most usage.
