This is potentially very confusing. Depending on whether you're
dealing with a subtractive or additive color synthesis, "more color"
could mean darker or brighter, respectively. I no expert in color
theory, but perhaps "larger values correspond to more luminous
(``brighter'') pixels" would be more accurate and but still clear?
