HSL Colour model
ZEN makes extensive use of the
range of attractive colours and effects. This model specifies colour using three
components familiar to artists:
Whenever 'colour' is mentioned in this guide, it should always be thought of as being
a particular combination of various levels of
of the two million colours that ICELED light sources can produce – including pastel
shades, white and even black. The following diagrams should make the role of each
component easy to recognise:

In the above examples, the full control range is arbitrarily depicted as spanning from
0% to 100%. This represents the lower and upper limits of the remote control range
during colour editing operations.
NOTE – Levels
should normally be
kept at maximum except for when
deliberately dimming-down certain
zones or making them completely
dark.
Saturation
Lower settings result in
brighter, whiter, colours. However,
some effects like the sweep function
will be unable to influence colours
with very low saturation. To adjust
Hue
the of such colours, first
increase the saturation so the hue
can be seen.

Home Colours
In order to establish a particular lighting theme for
each program, all zones may be assigned individual
'home' colours in HSL format. Home colours
provide a starting point for the various effects and
are set up in Program Edit mode. Each ZEN
controller holds a total of 44 home colours.
