  2. Color mixing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_mixing

    The most common additive color model is the RGB color model, which uses three primary colors: red, green, and blue. This model is the basis of most color displays. Some modern displays are Multi-primary color displays, which have 4-6 primaries (RGB, plus cyan, yellow and/or magenta) in order to increase the size of the color gamut. For all ...

  3. Additive color - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Additive_color

    Additive color is also used to predict colors from overlapping projected colored lights often used in theatrical lighting for plays, concerts, circus shows, and night clubs. [3] The full gamut of color available in any additive color system is defined by all the possible combinations of all the possible luminosities of each primary color in ...

    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 absorbed only one of the retinal primary colors: cyan absorbs only red (−R+G+B), magenta only green (+R−G+B), and yellow only blue-violet (+R+G−B). It is important to ...

    Full color image along with its R, G, and B components Additive color mixing demonstrated with CD covers used as beam splitters A diagram demonstrating additive color with RGB. 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 ...

  6. 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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_color_models...

    The illustration shows a simple color wheel based on the additive colors. Note that the position (top, right) of the starting color, typically red, is arbitrary, as is the order of green and blue (clockwise, counter-clockwise). The illustration also shows the secondary colors, yellow, cyan, and magenta, located halfway between (60 degrees) the ...

  8. Subtractive color - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subtractive_color

    RYB (red, yellow, blue) is the traditional set of primary colors used for mixing pigments. It is used in art and art education, particularly in painting. It predated modern scientific color theory. Red, yellow, and blue are the primary colors of the RYB color "wheel". The secondary colors, violet (or purple), orange, and green (VOG) make up ...

  9. Secondary color - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_color

    Primary colors of the CMY color model: cyan, magenta, and yellow, mixed to form secondary colors red, green, and blue. The RGB color model is an additive mixing model, used to estimate the mixing of colored light, with primary colors red, green, and blue. The secondary colors are yellow, cyan and magenta as demonstrated here:
