On this page about YCbCr:
YCbCr is a family of color spaces used in video systems. Y is the luma component and Cb and Cr are the blue and red chroma components. It is often confused with the YUV color space, and typically the terms YCbCr and YUV are used interchangeably, leading to some confusion. In fact, when referring to signals in digital form, the term "YUV" probably really means "YCbCr" more often than not. YCbCr is sometimes abbreviated to YCC. When used for analog component video, YCbCr is often called YPbPr, although the term YCbCr is commonly used for both systems.
