Oren Rubin, applitools
what you'll learn
- COLOR THEORY AND THE HUMAN EYE
- I WANT HUE - HSI MODEL
- COLOR SUBTRACTION - CMYK
- FOCUS AND BLUR
Let there be light!
the human eye
the human eye
- Sun transmits all colors
-
Two kinds of receptors
- Colored - sensitive to 3 colors, but not evenly
- Red
- Green
- Blue
- Black & White - super sensitive
- Lets us see at night
COLOR theory
Color primitives:
Red, Green and Blue (RGB)
All other colors are the mix of RGB colors
This one goes to 11
Geeks don't stop at 100, they go to 255 (#FF)
PRIMARY COLORS & intensities
Red Green Blue
Red 255 0 0
Green
0 255 0
Blue 0
0 255
dark red 100 0 0
Secondary colors & gray
Red Green Blue
Yellow 255 255 0
Cian
0 255 255
Magenta
255 0 255
white
255 255 255
gray
100 100 100
black
0 0 0
Css!
// yellow
background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0)
// also yellow
background-color: #FFFF00
// transparency
background-color: rgba(0, 0, 255, 0.5)
linear gradient
background: linear-gradient(black, white)
linear gradient
Can also have color stops, and rotating
Don't need to memorize
linear gradient
Nice, but how does it work?
Question: what color would be at the middle from red to green?
radial gradient
Radial gradients are cool too :)
I WANT HUE
Humans don't split the RGB, the brain splits it to
-
Hue - גוון
- Saturation - לבנוניות*
- Intensity - עוצמה
aka
HSI
* המצאתי, המילה הרשמית היא רוויה
intensity
Intensity - how light or dark the color is
Using CSS3: filter: grayscale(100%)
Using JS+Canvas: grayscale canvas demo
HUE
But people like to round things, so we'll get:
color pickers
first choose hue
first choose hue & saturation
and super cool (danke Alex!)
COLOR subtraction
Question:
If the sun emits all colors, how come we don't
see everything white?
Answer:
Because everyone wants their cut!
correction, everything!
color subtraction
MEET CMYK
focus and blur
FOCUS
If every sensor receives light from everywhere,
how do we see clearly?!
Blur
The opposite from focus,
merge colors from neighbor pixels
Using CSS3: filter: blur(2px)
Using JS+Canvas: live example
more filters

thank you!
