  2. Subtractive color - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subtractive_color

    Art supply manufacturers offer colors that successfully fill the roles of the subtractive primary colors magenta and cyan. For example, the phthalocyanine blues , which became available during the 1930s, and quinacridone magenta, first offered during the 1950s, together with yellow produce more highly-saturated violets and greens than do the ...

  3. Color theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_theory

    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 ...

  4. 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 ...

  5. 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 ...

  6. Magenta - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magenta

    In color printing, the color called process magenta, pigment magenta, or printer's magenta is one of the three primary pigment colors which, along with yellow and cyan, constitute the three subtractive primary colors of pigment. (The secondary colors of pigment are blue, green, and red.)

  7. 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.

  8. Yellow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow

    Yellow is found between green and red on the spectrum of visible light. It is the color the human eye sees when it looks at light with a dominant wavelength between 570 and 590 nanometers. In color printing, yellow is one of the three subtractive primary colors of ink along with magenta and cyan.

  9. Color model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_model

    In color science, a color model is an abstract mathematical model describing the way colors can be represented as tuples of numbers, typically as three or four values or color components. When this model is associated with a precise description of how the components are to be interpreted (viewing conditions, etc.), taking account of visual ...
