Color is described in scientific terms by using color models.
In these models, any color is described as a mixture of primary colors. Other color models include CIE Lab, HSB, and spot colors, such as Pantone or Trumatch. In the example here, we show how a single color is represented using several different color models. This story originally appeared in PC Magazine .
