  2. Color mixing - Wikipedia

    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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colored_gold

    Blue gold is an alloy of gold and either gallium or indium. [15] Gold-indium contains 46% gold (about 11 karat) and 54% indium, [ 4 ] forming an intermetallic compound AuIn 2 . While several sources remark this intermetallic to have "a clear blue color", [ 3 ] in fact the effect is slight: AuIn 2 has CIE LAB color coordinates of 79, −3.7, − ...

    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 ...

    The RGB color model, invented in the 19th century and fully developed in the 20th century, uses combinations of red, green, and blue light against a black background to make the colors seen on a computer monitor or television screen. In the RGB model, the primary colors are red, green, and blue.

    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.

  7. 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:

  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.

    Blue was not one of the four primary colours for Greek painting described by Pliny the Elder (red, yellow, black, and white). For the Romans, blue was the colour of mourning, as well as the colour of barbarians. The Celts and Germans reportedly dyed their faces blue to frighten their enemies, and tinted their hair blue when they grew old. [67]
