What is achromatic (colorless)

Abstract: 消色,亦称无彩色或灰阶,是指不具色调或饱和度的颜色,包括黑色、白色和灰色。这些颜色通过黑、白和灰的不同混合比例生成,广泛应用于视觉设计和印刷中,以创建中性或简洁的图形,从而突出其他颜色的对比度和鲜艳度。此外,消色还用于图形中的阴影、渐变和纹理效果,以增强图形的深度和立体感。在数字图形处理软件中,消色效果通常可以通过调整颜色的亮度和对比度来实现。

Achromatic, also known as achromatic or grayscale, refers to colors that have no hue or saturation, i.e. black and white and gray. They are usually composed of mixed colors of the same amount of black, white, and gray.


In areas such as Visual Identity and printing, achromatic is often used to create toned or neutral-toned graphics and images to emphasize the vibrancy and contrast of other colors. In these areas, the use of achromatic can make designs more concise, professional, and easy to read. In addition, achromatic is also used to make effects such as shadows, gradual changes, and textures of graphics and images to increase the depth and three-dimensionality of graphics.


Matting can often be created by mixing black, white and gray together. By controlling the mixing ratio and the brightness and contrast of the colors, it is possible to create matting of different shades and shades. In digital graphics and image processing software, various matting and grey release options are often provided to easily create and edit matting effects.
