The Color Blend Mode in Photoshop takes the “grey levels” of the base color and colors them with the blend color:
Photoshop中的“颜色混合模式”采用基础颜色的“灰度”，并用混合颜色为它们着色：
Color Blend Mode: Creates a result color with the luminance of the base color and the hue and saturation of the blend color. This preserves the gray levels in the image and is useful for coloring monochrome images and for tinting color images.
颜色混合模式：创建具有基础颜色的亮度以及混合颜色的色相和饱和度的结果颜色。 这样可以保留图像中的灰度级，对于彩色单色图像和彩色图像很有用。
As an example, here’s a layer that is half red, half blue:
例如，这是一个一半为红色，一半为蓝色的图层：
Set to Color Mode and placed over another image, you get this:
设置为色彩模式并放置在另一张图像上，您将得到：
Color Mode is pretty close to Hue Mode, so let’s look at Hue Mode again to get rid of any confusion. Hue Mode keeps the brightness and satuation of the base color but applies the hue of the blend layer. Color Mode keeps the brightness of the base color and applies both the hue and saturation of the blend color.
色彩模式与色相模式非常接近，因此让我们再次看一下色相模式以消除任何混淆。 色相模式可保持基色的亮度和饱和度，但会应用混合层的色相。 色彩模式保持基色的亮度，并应用混合色的色相和饱和度。
So here’s how the scenario changes when the blue/red layer is set to Hue Mode instead:
因此，这是在将蓝色/红色图层设置为“色相模式”时，场景发生的变化：
As you can see, there’s more “grey” in this picture; the blue and reds are desaturated in the areas where the original image didn’t have much saturation.
如您所见，这张图片中还有更多的“灰色”。 在原始图像饱和度不高的区域中，蓝色和红色饱和度降低。
Does that make more sense?
这更有意义吗？
