Picture of the colour wheel
Copic colour numbers consist of 3 elements - letters representing the hue (dominant colour family) and a set of digits, the first one indicating colour saturation and the rest representing the brightness of the colour.
Hue (Dominant Colour Family)
Letters represent a rough hue (dominant colour family). Each letter is an acronym indicating a colour family - R stands for ‘red’, B for ‘blue’, and BV for ‘blue violet’.
Saturation
Next to the letters we have a digit representing colour saturation. The degree of saturation is divided into 10 groups, starting from 0 and ending at 9. Colours whose numbers start with 0 have the highest transparency.
Brightness
The rest of the digits represent brightness of the colour. Its levels are divided into 12 groups, with 000 representing the brightest colours and 9 - the darkest ones (colours become darker as their numbers become closer to 9).
Colour Names
All 358 Copic colorurs have their own unique names. The colours are usually named after very universal and commonly seen things, with which they can be easily associated, such as sky or various plants and flowers.
