Which component is part of the 3-dimensional color space?

In the context of color theory, particularly the representation of colors in a three-dimensional space, the components of hue, lightness, and saturation collectively define a color's position within that space.

Hue refers to the attribute of color that allows us to distinguish between different colors, such as red, green, and blue. It represents the angle around the color wheel in a 3D color model.

Lightness indicates the brightness of a color and how light or dark it appears, affecting its position along the vertical axis in a 3D space. Higher lightness values are associated with lighter shades, while lower values correspond to darker shades.

Saturation describes the intensity or purity of a color. It determines the vividness of the color in question; a fully saturated color appears vivid and bright, while low saturation results in a more muted or grayish coloration.

When all three components—hue, lightness, and saturation—are combined, they form a complete representation of color in a three-dimensional color space, such as the HLS (Hue, Lightness, Saturation) color model. This integration allows for a comprehensive understanding of how colors interact and vary in both perception and application in paint technology and design. Therefore, the inclusion of
