RGB: This additive color system is most often used with slide recorders or color video
monitors, and also works well for Web pages. Red, green, and blue light is mixed to
represent colors on a video screen.
HSB: This color model is often used by artists because it resembles the manner in which
they mix colors. Hue describes color pigment; saturation measures the amount of color
pigment; and brightness measures the amount of black in a color.
LAB: This color space is designed to be independent of differing interpretations imposed
by monitor or printer manufacturers. The LAB color model, also referred to as LAB color
space, is a standard three-dimensional model for representing colors. Colors are specified
by a luminance coordinate (L) and two chrominance coordinates (A for green-red), and
(B for blue-yellow).
Multi-Ink: This color model is color based on tint percentages of existing process or spot
inks.
CMYK: CMYK is a subtractive color model used by professional printers to reproduce colors
by combining cyan, magenta, yellow, and black inks on a press.
Web Safe or Web Named Colors: Web-safe colors are used for color consistency in Web
layouts.
To select a color from a color matching system and add it to your color list, choose one
of the standardized color matching systems from the Model drop-down menu.
