 Hi, I've a background in color theory from years ago but the last time I used Mathematica was probably v.2. My concern is with colors, not images. I've been reading and experimenting with the documentation here: https://reference.wolfram.com/language/guide/Colors.htmlNow lets suppose I have a color from somewhere; e.g. mycolor = Blend[{Purple, LightBlue}, 0.5] ;  Does this have an absolute internal representation or is it relative to some colorspace -- and if so, how do I determine which one? How do I determine the color coordinates of an arbitrary color in a given colorspace? For example, what procedure will yield the (approximate) RGB coordinates of mycolor? Thank you for your replies.
 Purple, Lightblue and their blends are all RGB colors Purple // FullForm returns RGBColor[0.5,0,0.5] LightBlue//FullForm returns RGBColor[0.87,0.94,1] and Blend[{Purple,LightBlue},0.5]//FullForm returns RGBColor[0.685,0.47,0.75]`I hope this answers your question.
