  2. RGB color model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RGB_color_model

    Every secondary color is the complement of one primary color: cyan complements red, magenta complements green, and yellow complements blue. When all the primary colors are mixed in equal intensities, the result is white. The RGB color model itself does not define what is meant by red, green, and blue colorimetrically, and so the results of ...

  3. Color mixing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_mixing

    A simulated example of additive color mixing in the RGB model. The primaries red, green, and blue combine pairwise to produce the additive secondaries cyan, magenta, and yellow. Combining all three primaries (center) produces white. Additive mixing combines two or more colors into a mixture with brightness equal to the sum of the components ...

    The 3-3-2 bit RGB use 3 bits for each of the red and green color components, and 2 bits for the blue component, due to the human eyes having lesser sensitivity to blue. This results in an 8×8×4 = 256-color palette as follows: This palette is used by: The MSX2 series of personal computers; Palette 4 of the IBM PGC; Extended Graphics Array (XGA)

    He had the photographer Thomas Sutton photograph a tartan ribbon on black-and-white film three times, first with a red, then green, then blue color filter over the lens. The three black-and-white images were developed and then projected onto a screen with three different projectors, each equipped with the corresponding red, green, or blue color ...

  6. Complementary colors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complementary_colors

    In this traditional scheme, a complementary color pair contains one primary color (yellow, blue or red) and a secondary color (green, purple or orange). The complement of any primary color can be made by combining the two other primary colors. For example, to achieve the complement of yellow (a primary color) one could combine red and blue.

  7. Tint, shade and tone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tint,_shade_and_tone

    When mixing colored light (additive color models), the achromatic mixture of spectrally balanced red, green, and blue (RGB) is always white, not gray or black. When we mix colorants, such as the pigments in paint mixtures, a color is produced which is always darker and lower in chroma, or saturation, than the parent colors. This moves the mixed ...

  8. List of color spaces and their uses - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_color_spaces_and...

    RGB (red, green, blue) describes the chromaticity component of a given color, when excluding luminance. RGB itself is not a color space, it is a color model. There are many different color spaces that employ this color model to describe their chromaticities because the R/G/B chromaticities are one facet for reproducing color in CRT & LED displays.

  9. Color space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_space

    Subtractive color mixing: Three splotches of paint on white paper, subtracting together to turn the paper black. RGB uses additive color mixing, because it describes what kind of light needs to be emitted to produce a given color. RGB stores individual values for red, green and blue. RGBA is RGB with an additional channel, alpha, to indicate ...
