The coordinates are composed of the respective proportions of the primary light colors (Red, Green, Blue). The RGB model is often used by software as it requires no conversion in order to display colors on a computer screen. 169 CMY subtractive color model Y Y Yellow Green (0, 0.3, 0.9) (0,0,1) (1,0,1) Gray shades Red (g,g,g) (0,1,1) Black (1,1,1) C (0.4, 0, 0.3) C White Cyan (0,0,0) (1,0,0) M Magenta (0,1,0) (0.4, 0.8, 0) Blue (1,1,0) M The CMY color model corresponds to the subtractive color mixing system. The coordinates of a point in this color space are composed of the respective proportions of the primary filter colors (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow). The CMY model is used whenever a colored document is printed. The conversion RGB and CMY models can be written as follows: For the orange point, for example: 170 HSV color model V Green Yellow 120° 60° (37°, 0.9, 1) White H 1.0 S Cyan Red 180° 0° V Blue Magenta 240° 300° Hue is given in polar coordinate.
