  2. Additive color - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Additive_color

    Red, green, and blue lights combining by reflecting from a white wall: secondary colors yellow, cyan, and magenta are found at the intersections of red and green, green and blue, and blue and red. The intersection of all three primary colors together yields white.

  3. Color mixing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_mixing

    In some combinations, a mix of blue and yellow paint produces green. This occurs when there is sufficient transparency in the pigments, allowing light to penetrate into the mixed paint, where the two colors together absorb light except wavelengths in the green range. Alternately, if the pigments are highly opaque, a combination of blue and ...

  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. [2]

  5. 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.

  6. Blue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue

    In painting and traditional colour theory, blue is one of the three primary colours of pigments (red, yellow, blue), which can be mixed to form a wide gamut of colours. Red and blue mixed together form violet, blue and yellow together form green. Mixing all three primary colours together produces a dark brown.

  7. Primary color - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_color

    The identity of a/the set of minimal pigments to mix diverse gamuts has long been the subject of speculation by theorists whose claims have changed over time, for example, Pliny's white, black, one or another red, and "sil", which might have been yellow or blue; Robert Boyle's white, black, red, yellow, and blue; and variations with more or ...

  8. 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:

  9. List of monochrome and RGB color formats - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_monochrome_and_RGB...

    It used two pixels for each emulated pixel, paired horizontally, and a specifically adapted 256-color palette. One range of the palette was many brightnesses of one primary color (say green), and another range of the other two primaries mixed together at different amounts and brightnesses (red and blue).
