Understanding Color Formats | CMYK, RGB, HEX, HSL & HSV | Additive & Subtractive Color Mixing

If we want to describe a color, we usually use words like red, yellow, green or blue. That's usually enough to get the job done. If we need a very specific color, however, we need to tell the computer how this color is defined. This is done using the color formats CMYK, RGB, HEX, HSL and HSV. In this video, we will cover how they work, how they are different and what all of this has to do with additive and subtractive color mixing.

Completely underrated video. This was, by far, one of the best and most concise videos on color theory.
