Color Model


Sabrina works with a small number of basic colors, such as green, black, red, blue, etc., and a number of shades, or intensities, of these colors. The color of a pixel in a color ray tracing rendering is determined by the color assigned to the cell which the ray intersects. The shade of that color depends on the angle the ray makes with the surface. The intensity darkens as the angle increases.

On 8 color plane systems, 8 colors are defined by default. Only four colors (White, Red, Green, and Purple) are initially defined on displays with less than 6 planes. On 16 color plane and higher systems, eight additional default colors are available.
