Primary Names: YIQ color space, where 'Y' represents the luminance component, 'I' represents the in-phase component, and 'Q' represents the quadrature component.
Typically expressed as a triplet, for example: YIQ(0.5, 0.2, 0.3) represents a color with specific luminance and chromaticity.
Usage Scope: Mainly used in the North American NTSC (National Television System Committee) color television broadcasting system. Although less used in modern digital technology, it played a significant role during the era of analog television.
Additionally, the YIQ color space allows old black and white television receivers to receive and correctly display the luminance signal from color broadcasts without interference from the color information.
