Take a walk on the wild side: from RED to BLUE and back again!

It requires a treacherous trek through the Dangerous Swamp of Less than 100% Brightness...

It's a journey of 120 degrees around the curvature of three color spaces!

The longest journey begins with a single step. Start here.
Congratulations, you've travelled 24 degrees.
Look out! Brightness has dropped to 60%!
Dwindling supplies of Yellow! But accumulating Cyan makes up for the loss..
Sure enough, this is a trip through Magenta territory!
You made it! Can you find your way back?

This is a Color Ramp-O-Meter thats charting your journey from RED to BLUE and back again. It supplies the numbers that go with the territory:
  1. RGB (Red, Green, Blue) color space, expressed in Decimal and Hexidecimal values
  2. CMY (CMYK - Cyan, Magenta, Yellow) color space, expressed as percentages
  3. HSB (Hue, Saturation, Brightness) color space, expressed as degrees for Hue, percentage for Saturation and Brightness

And now for another journey...

This trip kept us on the surface of the cube where saturation is always 100%.
Suppose we tunneled down into the interior of the cube....???

After you're done here, try the Sliced Cube and Dissected Cube animations. They'll take you inside! If you're thoroughly confused, try the Color Primer.
