While the CIE chromaticity diagram illustrated earlier conveys hue and saturation,
a three-dimensional color model is required to add the brightness component, as illustrated in
the following figure.
Many computer applications include dialog boxes in which you choose colors by
manipulating hue, saturation, and brightness. For example, some applications use a color
picker that can be reconfigured according to your preference (as illustrated in the following
figure).
