COLOR SPACE

Color space is a three-dimensional geometric space with axes appropriately defined so that symbols for all possible color perceptions of humans or other animals fit into it in an order corresponding to the psychological order. In this space each color perception is represented as a point. The symbolic representations of color perceptions in this space form the color solid.The earliest proposals
for color solids had simple geometrical forms: triangular double pyramid, sphere, cone, and so forth.There is, of course, no a prior reason why a systematic arrangement of color perceptions should fit into a simple geometrical solid.What controls the form of the solid is the definition of the axes of the space and their divisions.
