👉 Color theory in mathematics, often referred to as color analysis or chromaticity, is a field that explores the properties and relationships of colors using mathematical principles. It involves understanding how colors are represented in various color models, such as RGB (Red, Green, Blue) and CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key/Black), which are mathematical constructs that map colors to numerical values. The color space, like the CIE 1931 color space, is defined by mathematical equations that describe how different colors relate to each other in terms of hue, saturation, and brightness. This allows for precise color matching and manipulation in digital media, art, and design. Mathematical concepts like linear algebra and geometry are crucial for understanding color transformations, such as hue-saturation-value (HSV) conversions and color mixing formulas, enabling a quantitative approach to color manipulation and analysis.
