Color Brightness Table

Copyright © 2003 by Daniel B. Sedory

The following table lists various color samples (a complete table would have
over 16 million combinations!) in an order based upon their Overall Scaled
Brightnesses which are shown as a percentage based on 0% for BLACK
(#000000) and 100% WHITE (#FFFFFF). The table shows both the Decimal
equivalents for each component (Red, Green and Blue) and the Hex Code for
each color. The Color Names were copied from a list which I do not
necessarily agree with*, but reproduced as I found it.

There are two very important concepts you need to grasp when using this
table (both involving the subjectivity of colors):

1) Although people generally agree on how colors appear to them, when it

comes to the whole range of the spectrum there can understandably be
some differences of opinion since each of us could theoretically see things
differently than every other person on the planet! This same difference of
opinion over particular colors, could also affect how we perceive the
BRIGHTNESS of various colors as well. As a matter of fact, if it had been up
to me, I would have arranged many of the colors listed below in a different
order because of how they appear to my own eyes!

2) Due to the affect that colors have on each other when viewed together,
you should really compare one screen full of a particular color from the list
below (without any text on top of it) to another color; under the same
lighting conditions.

____________________
* Remember, as we discussed elsewhere, that color is not a physical
property of any particular object, but rather a matter of how you
subjectively perceive the light reflected by it; and that same light can
produce much different sensations in other people than it does in ourselves.
