use the software i helped PD write
here to generate HSB colour codes from RGB values. there is 1 known bug that if you use Hue 128, it turns to green hue 85.
anyway first value, is hue, 0 is red 128 is the midpoint at cyan, through to 256=0 red again. max is 255.
about 85 is green, and 170 is blue. anyway...
second value is what i call Saturation, its not exactly saturation, but close enough. 0 is white, 255 is full colour. true saturation would be the average grey at calue zero, not white. which in most cases here would be 85.
third value is what i call brightness, and is applied last. 0 is black, and 255 is colour, if saturation was 0, the colour is white, so, the 3rd value would act as grey's tone if saturation was 0.
I've got a graph showing this.
top of each third is 255, bottom of each third is 0. left is 0, right is 255.
top third shows the hue, each colour represents the effect hue has on a R, G and B value.
middle third represents saturation, assuming hue is 0, the colour shown is red. as you go up, you gradually go from white, to the colour, which in this example is red.
bottom third represents brightness.assuming hue is 0 (red) and saturation is 0(pure colour(red)), 0 is black, and 255 is full colour.
make sence?
the easy part was working out how it worked, the hard part was turning that into a series of formulae to write a computer program.
