color space

A color space is a system that categorizes colors to help us understand and reproduce them accurately. It maps colors according to specific parameters, like hue (the type of color), saturation (intensity), and brightness. Think of it as a language for colors, allowing devices like cameras, monitors, and printers to communicate and create the same hues. Different color spaces, such as RGB (used in screens) or CMYK (used in printing), each have their own ways of representing colors, making them suitable for different applications while ensuring consistency in color appearance across various platforms.
