Is yuv a color printer?

Yes.

YUV is a color coding method used by the European television system (belonging to PAL).

It is the color space used by PAL and SECAM analog color television systems. In modern color television systems, three-tube color cameras or color CCDs are usually used.

YUV is mainly used to optimize the transmission of color video signals to make them backward compatible with old black and white TVs. Compared with RGB video signal transmission, its biggest advantage is that it only takes up very little bandwidth (RGB requires three independent video signals to be transmitted simultaneously).

Among them, "Y" represents brightness (Luminance or Luma), which is the grayscale value
