Also known as the HEX color space.

Source: Hexadecimal color codes originated from early computer graphic design, where there was a need for a concise way to represent colors. Since each RGB channel can have 256 possible values (ranging from 0 to 255), they can be represented as a two-digit hexadecimal number.

Primary name: Hexadecimal color code

It is represented using 6 hexadecimal characters, typically prefixed with '#'. For instance, red can be represented as #FF0000; the first two characters represent the red channel, the middle two represent the green channel, and the last two represent the blue channel. Occasionally, there might be 8 characters where the first two represent transparency (alpha channel), but this is not standard.

Usage: Mainly used in web design and CSS style definitions, but also in other scenarios where a quick and concise representation of color is required.

Pros: Hexadecimal color codes offer a compact representation of colors, making it very suitable for web and coding environments. Cons: To the general public, hexadecimal codes might not be as intuitive as other methods. For instance, seeing #FFA07A might not immediately suggest the color light salmon to most people.

Also known as the YPbPr(Y/PB/PR,YPRPB,PRPBY,PBPRY,Y/Pb/Pr,YPrPb,PrPbY,PbPrY,Y/R-Y/B-Y,Y(R-Y)(B-Y),R-Y,B-Y) color space.There are 3 channels in total,Y,range from 0 to 1.Pb,range from -0.5 to 0.5.Pr,range from -0.5 to 0.5.

Origin: The YPbPr color space originates from analog television broadcasting and component video technology, designed to be compatible with black-and-white television while efficiently transmitting color information.

Primary Names: YPbPr color space, where 'Y' is for luminance, 'Pb' stands for the blue difference component, and 'Pr' represents the red difference component.

YPbPr is typically expressed as three separate signals, for example: YPbPr(0.6, 0.2, 0.15) representing specific luminance and color differences.

Usage Scope: It's primarily used for analog television signals and connecting devices such as DVD players, video game consoles, and home theater systems to TVs.

Additionally, YPbPr is designed to separate the luminance (Y) from the color information (Pb and Pr), which is beneficial for black-and-white displays and synchronization in analog transmission.
