Color spaces

Color spaces are systems that define how colors are represented and reproduced, whether on screens, printers, or other devices. They serve as a standardized language, describing colors through specific numbers or values to ensure consistent appearance across different mediums. Common examples include RGB (used for digital screens, combining red, green, and blue light) and CMYK (used in printing, combining cyan, magenta, yellow, and black ink). Think of color spaces as blueprints that ensure colors look the same regardless of where or how they are viewed, helping maintain color accuracy and consistency in digital and print media.
