    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: red.

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 ...

  9. Color mixing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_mixing

    For practical additive color models, an equal superposition of all primaries results in neutral (gray or white). In the RGB model, an equal mixture of red and green is yellow, an equal mixture of green and blue is cyan and an equal mixture of blue and red is magenta. [ 1]: 4.2 Yellow, cyan and magenta are the secondary colors of the RGB model.
