Heaven 42 is a high-white (CIE = 157), coated fine paper of Scheufelen in Lenningen in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Heaven 42 is especially suitable for technical motifs (shades of gray, silver tones from 4c, strong chiaroscuro contrasts). These perform on Heaven 42 particularly brilliant and neutral. For warm tones (z. B. skintones) color adjustments are recommended.
HKS is a German color system, which was developed by the companies Horstmann-Steinberg, Kast + Ehinger and H. Schmincke and Co., hence the name: HKS.
HLC is an easy to understand representation of the CIELAB colour space. It has an identical vertical L-axis. The horizontal position of a colour location is determined here by the angle H to the positive a-axis (counterclockwise and in the unit degree) and the radius C, the distance to the L-axis.
HSB is short for Hue, Saturation and Brightness and is a colour system.
Means water-attracting, moisture-loving (ancient Greek: hýdor “water”, phílos “loving”). Hydrophilic surfaces absorb water and can thus be wetted with water.
Means water-repellent or not water-soluble (ancient Greek: hýdor “water”, phóbos “fear”). Water rolls off hydrophobic materials without moistening them.
