I thought the same colors could be created by different color models, but this does not seem to be the case when looking at these two images?

How can we translate one color into another color mode exactly? The two pictures are still have a slightly different

@hii The color space associated with different models often overlap, but may not be reproduced exactly. For example, the space of colors on a display (RGB) might be different than a printed photo (CMYK).

@Doris Many color models (e.g., HSV, YCbCr) are defined as a function of R-, G-, and B-components. Converting from HSV to YCbCr, for example, could involves mapping HSV to RGB, and RGB to YCbCr. Regarding these two pictures, the colors that appear on a computer monitor and the colors that appear on print may be different; accurately accounting for these differences involves a more complicated process which requires a color matching system (also highlighted in this slide).
