Normal human color perception is a product of three independent sensory systems. By mirroring this mechanism, full-color display devices create colors as mixtures primaries. Any displayable can be described by the corresponding values these Frequently it more convenient to define various other spaces , or coordinate systems, for representation manipulation. Several such are presented which suitable applications involving user specification color, along with defining equations and illustrations. The use special particular kinds computations discussed.
