Color is a complex phenomenon that makes each person's experience of color distinct. As a result, we often have difficulty in communicating about color. This website is partially dedicated to overcoming this by defining color terminology using the COLORCUBE as the standard model for visualizing color concepts. Since we do not claim to be the utmost authorities on color, we invite you to challenge and debate our statements about the dimensions of color.

Diagrams featuring Value Objects

Description: Usually described in terms of light and dark, value determines how close a color is to either white or black. Converting colors to their grayscale equivalent, as seen on black & white printers or film, is the easiest way to grasp the concept of value.

Inside the COLORCUBE: Graphs of constant value form slanted, parallel planes.

Behaviour: As value increases, the colors move from dark (near black) to light (near white).

Other terms: Lightness

Examples: High value = Pastels, Watercolors. Low value = Gothic images, shadows.
