  2. Color mixing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_mixing

    The CMYK model adds a black primary to improve the darkness of blacks, where the CMY model can only mix to dark gray or only achieves black inefficiently, i.e. by using lots of the primary pigments. In the CMY model, an equal mixture of cyan and magenta is blue , an equal mixture of magenta and yellow is red and an equal mixture of yellow and ...

    The intersection of all three primary colors together yields white. James Clerk Maxwell , with his color top that he used for investigation of color vision and additive color Additive color or additive mixing is a property of a color model that predicts the appearance of colors made by coincident component lights , i.e. the perceived color can ...

  4. Complementary colors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complementary_colors

    This model designates red, yellow and blue as primary colors with the primary–secondary complementary pairs of red–green, blue-orange, and yellow–purple. [2] In this traditional scheme, a complementary color pair contains one primary color (yellow, blue or red) and a secondary color (green, purple or orange).

  5. 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:

  6. RYB color model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RYB_color_model

    RYB (an abbreviation of red–yellowblue) is a subtractive color model used in art and applied design in which red, yellow, and blue pigments are considered primary colors. [1] Under traditional color theory , this set of primary colors was advocated by Moses Harris , Michel Eugène Chevreul , Johannes Itten and Josef Albers , and applied by ...

  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. Color theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_theory

    Every red paint, for example, is said to be tainted with, or biased toward, either blue or yellow, every blue paint toward either red or green, and every yellow toward either green or orange. These biases are said to result in mixtures that contain sets of complementary colors, darkening the resulting color. To obtain vivid mixed colors ...

  9. List of colors by shade - Wikipedia

    In theory, such combinations should produce black, but produce brown because most commercially available blue pigments tend to be comparatively weaker; [citation needed] the stronger red and yellow colors prevail, thus creating the following tones. The color brown can also be made if multiple paint colors are added to each other.
