HSV
hue-saturation-value; a color model that specifies any given color based on its hue (the frequency of light, e.g. red-orange-yellow-green-blue-violet), saturation (amount of white versus pure color), and value (intensity or brightness). Formally equivalent to other color models (RGB, HSB, CMYK), the HSV model is more convenient for specifying sets of unified colors.
