  2. Impossible color - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impossible_color

    When colors are displayed in the CIE 1931 XYZ color space, additive mixture results in color along the line between the colors being mixed. By mixing any three colors, one can therefore create any color contained in the triangle they describe – this is called the gamut formed by those three colors, which are called primary colors. Any colors ...

    Magenta is variously defined as a purplish-red, reddish-purple, or a mauvish–crimson color. On color wheels of the RGB and CMY color models, it is located midway between red and blue, opposite green. Complements of magenta are evoked by light having a spectrum dominated by energy with a wavelength of roughly 500–530 nm.

    As already mentioned, when two colors are mixed, the resulting color x mix, y mix will lie on the straight line segment that connects these colors on the CIE xy chromaticity diagram. To calculate the mixing ratio of the component colors x 1,y 1 and x 2,y 2 that results in a certain x mix,y mix on this line segment, one can use the formula

  6. Color mixing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_mixing

    Physical mixing processes, e.g. mixing light beams or oil paints, will follow one or a hybrid of these 3 models. [1] Each mixing model is associated with several color models, depending on the approximate primary colors used. The most common color models are optimized to human trichromatic color vision, therefore comprising three primary colors.

  7. Tint, shade and tone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tint,_shade_and_tone

    In color theory, a tint is a mixture of a color with white, which increases lightness, while a shade is a mixture with black, which increases darkness. Both processes affect the resulting color mixture's relative saturation. A tone is produced either by mixing a color with gray, or by both tinting and shading. [1]

  8. Secondary color - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_color

    A RYB color wheel with tertiary colors described under the modern definition. RYB is a subtractive mixing color model, used to estimate the mixing of pigments (e.g. paint) in traditional color theory, with primary colors red, yellow, and blue. The secondary colors are green, purple, and orange as demonstrated here:

  9. Color theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_theory

    Color theory asserts three pure primary colors that can be used to mix all possible colors. These are sometimes considered as red, yellow and blue or as red, green and blue . [citation needed] Ostensibly, any failure of specific paints or inks to match this ideal performance is due to the impurity or imperfection of the colorants.
