Research of color models in digital graphics

Abstract

The relevance of the research is determined by the rapid growth of digital graphics, where color models play a crucial role in ensuring high-quality visualization and accurate processing of graphic data. Different types of color models are applied depending on the specific tasks and fields, including displays, mobile devices, printing technologies, and color correction systems. The purpose of this article is to investigate the main color models, analyze their features, working principles, advantages, limitations, and areas of application in digital graphics. The research methods include the analysis of scientific sources, comparative evaluation of color models, and the study of practical cases of their implementation in graphic editors and specialized software. The study focuses on a detailed examination of the RGB, CMYK, HSL/HSV, and LAB color models. It is established that the RGB model is an additive system optimized for screens and displays, as it provides a broad and vibrant color range suitable for digital applications. In contrast, the CMYK model is subtractive and widely used for printing purposes, ensuring high-quality color reproduction but with a limited gamut. The HSL and HSV models simplify the process of adjusting colors due to their intuitive separation into hue, saturation, and lightness components, which makes them particularly useful for design and user-friendly color manipulation. The LAB model stands out as a perceptually uniform and device-independent system, offering unmatched accuracy in color reproduction, making it invaluable for tasks involving color correction and precise editing. The results of this research demonstrate that the choice of a specific color model directly depends on the needs of digital graphics, and the combined use of different models allows achieving superior visualization quality and accurate color rendition. The prospects for further studies involve the development of advanced color processing algorithms and the integration of modern color models into emerging technologies such as augmented reality, virtual reality, and HDR imaging systems.
