I just wonder whether light-on-dark is an accurate description. To me, light-on-dark means things like bright characters on a dark background, but that is a property of the image as a whole and not a property of the pixel format. What I think you are after here is that increasing channel value mean increasing brightness. How to word that concisely... Direct relationship to brightness (vs. inverse relationship to brightness)? This does not imply a linear relationship, and I'd also use "brightness" to denote that it is a qualitative factor relating to human observation. Thanks, pq

So I agree that would be good to have a comment about this. Reviewed-by: Javier Martinez Canillas <javierm@redhat.com>

Traditionally, the first channel has been called the "red" channel, but the fourcc values for single-channel "red" formats can also be used for other light-on-dark displays, like grayscale.
