Color conversion method of BrilliantColor

RGB, Cyan, Yellow, and White are used as primary colors by BrilliantColor.
But I cannot guess how full colors (16,777,216 colors) are made from the 6 primary colors.
For instance, I would like to know the following matrix coefficients of BrilliantColor broadly.
(R,G,B)t = (???) x (R,G,B,C,Y,W)t

Best regards,

  • Nose-san,

    This is very complicated issue and cannot just list the equation. Besides, this involves BrilliantColor algorithm secret and we cannot reveal it at this time. Sorry about it and thanks for your understanding.

  • The CMW sections aren't used for color creation, not even secondary colors, rather they are added to their complementary colors to pass more light for greyscale. All full-saturation colors are created as normal with the RGB segments. Brilliantcolor is used to boost midtones/greyscale and as colors blend to white. If your application requires color accuracy and/or proper color-to-white balance, you should consider leaving brilliantcolor out of the design.
  • Thank you very much for the helpful advice.

    I have an additional question.

    Are there any problems if W section are used instead of CM section?
    (CMW secition -> W x 3 section)

    I imagine "W x 3" section is brighter than "CMW" section and more useful.
