|---|---|
| A color model described with the primary colors cyan, magenta, and yellow (CMY) is useful for defining color output to hard-copy devices. | The HSV model uses color descriptors that have a more natural appeal to the user. Color function in this model is hue (H), saturation (S) and value(V). |
| Hard-copy devices such as plotters produce a Color image by coating a paper with color pigments. | To give color specification, a user selects a spectral color and the amounts of black and white that are to be added to obtain different shades, tints, and tones. |
