  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. 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 ...

  4. 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 ...

  5. 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.)

  6. Color model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_model

    RYB is a subtractive color model used in art and applied design in which red, yellow, and blue pigments are considered primary colors. [1] [2] The RYB color model relates specifically to color in the form of paint and pigment application in art and design.

  7. CMYK color model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CMYK_color_model

    The CMYK color model is based on the CMY color model, which omits the black ink. Four-color printing uses black ink in addition to subtractive primaries for several reasons: [2] In traditional preparation of color separations, a red keyline on the black line art marked the outline of solid or tint color areas. In some cases a black keyline was ...

  8. 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.

  9. Cyan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyan

    In the subtractive color system, or CMYK color model, which can be overlaid to produce all colors in paint and color printing, cyan is one of the primary colors, along with magenta and yellow. In the additive color system, or RGB color model , used to create all the colors on a computer or television display, cyan is made by mixing equal ...
