Brightness is an attribute of our perception which is mainly influenced by a color's lightness. This is probably why brightness and lightness are often mixed up. Brightness is not a color property, if used "correctly". | ====Brightness / (relative) Luminance:==== | ||

For one color of specific hue the perception of brightness is also more intense, if we increase saturation. A higher level of saturation makes a color look brighter. | For one color of specific hue the perception of brightness is also more intense, if we increase saturation.

In relation to other colors the brightness intensity of a color is also influenced by its hue. We can then speak of (relative) luminance to refer to brightness.

So with this in mind I took the idea to make visible the idea of "Lightness" that is more comprehensible, BUT what is Lightness, well here is a little explanation. | |||
====Lightness:==== | |||
"Lightness is a color term commonly used by (digital / analog) imaging experts. | |||
Lightness is usually one property of three when used to determine a certain color and measured as percentage value. | |||
Lightness defines a range from dark (0%) to fully illuminated (100%). Any original hue has the average lightness level of 50%. | |||
A painter might say lightness is the range from fully shaded to fully tinted. | |||
You can lighten or darken a color by changing its lightness value." | |||
