In the depths of color theory, there exists a mystical realm known as YUV. A realm where colors are not just pretty things, but mathematical representations of light and darkness.
YUV, short for Luminance-Color-Minorant, is a color space born from the marriage of Y (Luminance) and U-V (Color Difference). It's like the RGB of color theory, but with more drama.
The Y-Component is like the king of color. It's the one that rules over the land with an iron fist of brightness.
Y = 0.299*R + 0.587*G + 0.114*B
The U- and V-Components are the loyal subjects to the Y-Component. They're the ones who toil away in the shadows, making sure the world of color remains in balance.
U- and V- are calculated as follows:
U = -0.299*R - 0.587*G + 0.564*B
V = -0.299*R + 0.587*G - 0.564*B
And that's the magic of YUV, my friend. A world of color so intricate, so complex, so full of drama.
