  2. 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 ...

  3. Visible spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visible_spectrum

    The spectrum does not contain all the colors that the human visual system can distinguish. Unsaturated colors such as pink, or purple variations like magenta, for example, are absent because they can only be made from a mix of multiple wavelengths. Colors containing only one wavelength are also called pure colors or spectral colors. [8] [9]

  4. Color - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color

    If the reflectance spectrum of a color is 1 (100%) for all the wavelengths between A and B, and 0 for all the wavelengths of the other half of the color space, then that color is a maximum chroma color, semichrome, or full color (this is the explanation to why they were called semichromes). Thus, maximum chroma colors are a type of optimal color.

  5. Primary color - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_color

    Primaries of some color spaces are complete (that is, all visible colors are described in terms of their primaries weighted by nonnegative primary intensity coefficients) but necessarily imaginary [1] (that is, there is no plausible way that those primary colors could be represented physically, or perceived). Phenomenological accounts of ...

    The background was removed from all photos and each photo was run through the K-means algorithm to get the dominant color. K-means works by dividing the colors of a bird into distinct groups, or ...

  7. CMYK color model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CMYK_color_model

    To reproduce color, the CMYK color model codes for absorbing light rather than emitting it (as is assumed by RGB). The K component ideally absorbs all wavelengths and is therefore achromatic. The cyan, magenta, and yellow components are used for color reproduction and they may be viewed as the inverse of RGB: Cyan absorbs red, magenta absorbs ...

  8. Color of chemicals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_of_chemicals

    The color of chemicals is a physical property of chemicals that in most cases comes from the excitation of electrons due to an absorption of energy performed by the chemical. The study of chemical structure by means of energy absorption and release is generally referred to as spectroscopy .

    The color you choose can make your home feel inviting, but the wrong one can quickly become a maintenance nightmare. Dark shades, for example, absorb heat and tend to peel faster, while bright ...
