  2. Primary color - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_color

    The most common color mixing models are the additive primary colors (red, green, blue) and the subtractive primary colors (cyan, magenta, yellow). Red, yellow and blue are also commonly taught as primary colors (usually in the context of subtractive color mixing as opposed to additive color mixing), despite some criticism due to its lack of ...

  3. RYB color model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RYB_color_model

    An RYB color chart from George Field's 1841 Chromatography; or, A treatise on colours and pigments: and of their powers in painting Comparison between CMYK model and RYB model: ideal CMY (a), printed CMY (b), RYB approximation (c) The 1613 RYB color scheme of Franciscus Aguilonius (Francisci Agvilonii), with primaries yellow (flavus), red (rubeus), and blue (caeruleus) arranged between white ...

  4. RGB color model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RGB_color_model

    The RGB color model is an additive color model [1] in which the red, green, and blue primary colors of light are added together in various ways to reproduce a broad array of colors. The name of the model comes from the initials of the three additive primary colors , red, green, and blue.

    The last is chroma or intensity, distinguishing between strong and weak colors. [6] A visual representation of chromatic scale is observable through the color wheel that uses the primary colors. [3] Color is divided into various classes, primary color, secondary color, complimentary color, tertiary color, analogous color and neutral color.

  6. Color theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_theory

    (In printing, dark colors are supplemented by black ink, called "key," to make the CMYK system; in both printing and photography, white is provided by the color of the paper.) These CMY primary colors were reconciled with the RGB primaries, and subtractive color mixing with additive color mixing, by defining the CMY primaries as substances that ...

  7. Tint, shade and tone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tint,_shade_and_tone

    In color theory, a tint is a mixture of a color with white, which increases lightness, while a shade is a mixture with black, which increases darkness. Both processes affect the resulting color mixture's relative saturation. A tone is produced either by mixing a color with gray, or by both tinting and shading. [1]

  8. HSL and HSV - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HSL_and_HSV

    In both geometries, the additive primary and secondary colors – red, yellow, green, cyan, blue and magenta – and linear mixtures between adjacent pairs of them, sometimes called pure colors, are arranged around the outside edge of the cylinder with saturation 1. These saturated colors have lightness 0.5 in HSL, while in HSV they have value 1.

  9. Color triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_triangle

    A color triangle is an arrangement of colors within a triangle, based on the additive or subtractive combination of three primary colors at its corners. An additive color space defined by three primary colors has a chromaticity gamut that is a color triangle, when the amounts of the primaries are constrained to be nonnegative.
