:* Hmmm ... I'm comfortable with whats there. Just for the heck of it I did a quick search of the two terms in an identical question ''model'' returned 72,400 hits, while ''space'' returned 169,00 hits ... not exactly scientific.

The term "color model" should be used here instead of "color space". "Color space" implies a device-independent system like the Munsell system that produces identical results regardless of device or output. "Color model" is more limited in that it means a different numerical/mathematical representation of a color space. I.e HSL and HSV are alternate representations of RGB, whether it's sRGB or Adobe RGB or whatever. SharkD 20:08, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
