Understanding Color: A Comprehensive Exploration of HSB (Hue, Saturation, Brightness)

Dive into a comprehensive 37-minute video exploring the Hue, Saturation, and Brightness (HSB) color model. Learn to define any imaginable color using these three controls, starting with an in-depth look at the Adobe Color Picker. Discover the relationships between HSB and other color models like RGB, CMYK, and Lab. Explore the Hue wheel, understanding primary hues, complementary colors, and color theory. Examine Saturation's role in transforming full-color to white, and Brightness's impact from vibrant color to black. Visualize these concepts through the HSB cone and 2D color wheel, gaining practical insights into perceptual color variations. Download provided HSB asset files to enhance your learning experience and deepen your understanding of color on a whole new level.
