Schema for Color Printing 7
■Hue
The qualitative aspect of color we generally perceive, such as “red” or “blue”.
■Saturation
The vividness of the color.
■Brightness
The brightness of the color. A higher brightness provides a lighter image and a lower brightness
provides a darker image.
The following illustration provides a graphical representation of these three concepts. Moving along the
circumference and radius shows the change in hue and saturation respectively and the height shows
the brightness of the color.

Schema for Color Printing 8
There are two methods of creating a range of colors. Those are called “additive color system” and
“subtractive color system”.
■Additive color system (This system is used by computer
monitors.)
This system creates a range of colors by combining varying amounts of Red, Green, and Blue (RGB)
light, which is generally used in the color monitor. Adding the maximum amount of red, green, and blue
light available creates white, on the contrary, black occurs where all these three colors are absent.
Other colors can be created by combining varying amounts of these additive
primaries (RGB).
Method for Creating Colors
Schema for Color Printing 9
■Subtractive color system (This system is used by color printers.)
This system produces color by combining colorants such as inks, toners or paint on media, which is
generally used in color printing. The printers create the colors by combining the subtractive primaries:
Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow. White occurs where no colorant is applied, on the contrary, combining all
these three color in theory yields black. However, to produce more solid black, black colorant is added,
and consequently color printing uses four process colors: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and blacK (CMYK).
■Color capabilities of the color reproduction devices
Color monitors use the additive color system (RGB), and color printers use the subtractive color system
(CMYK) to create a range of colors. Because these color reproduction devices use different color
systems, some colors that can be displayed on a color monitor cannot be reproduced exactly by the
print device. However, using the color matching system (ICM or ColorSync) enables more accurate
representation of the original color by assigning the best color possible.
