A color model is an abstract mathematical model describing the way colors can be represented as tuples of numbers, typically as three or four values or color components (e.g. RGB and CMYK are color models). However, a color model with no associated mapping function to an absolute color space is a more or less arbitrary color system with no connection to any globally-understood system of color interpretation.

Adding a certain mapping function between the color model and a certain reference color space results in a definite "footprint" within the reference color space. This "footprint" is known as a gamut, and, in combination with the color model, defines a new color space. For example, Adobe RGB and sRGB are two different absolute color spaces, both based on the RGB model.

In the most generic sense of the definition above, color spaces can be defined without the use of a color model. These spaces, such as Pantone, are in effect a given set of names or numbers which are defined by the existence of a corresponding set of physical color swatches. This article focuses on the mathematical model concept.

What is the color of space?
Q. Well I know everyone would say black but why black? Is there any part in space where its totally different color or what? You all gave me a lot of good answers, I would give everyone 10 points but I cant, so I am just going to let the votes decide, thank you all!

A. Actually, there is a very real answer to your question. "Color" is nothing more than the way the brain interprets a very specific band of EM (electromagnetic) radiation. The reason we see color is because the sun puts out most of its energy in this spectrum. Our eyes evolved to discern variances in wavelength; at one end, deep violet has a wavelength of approximately 400 nm; on the other side, deep reds have a wavelength of about 700 nm. So EM radiation that hits our eyes with wavelengths between those ranges is interpreted by the brain as color. EM radiation, however, can run from billionths of a nm to miles or more in wavelength. The shortest wavelengths are called gamma rays; the longest, radio waves. All are EM radiation - the… [cont.]

A. Try bright colors like mustard or sunny yellow on one wall. Keep furniture to minimal and small if you want more space.
