    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_color

    The concept of primary colors has a long, complex history. The choice of primary colors has changed over time in different domains that study color. Descriptions of primary colors come from areas including philosophy, art history, color order systems, and scientific work involving the physics of light and perception of color.

  3. 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.

  4. Color theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_theory

    In contrast, modern color science does not recognize universal primary colors (no finite combination of colors can produce all other colors) and only uses primary colors to define a given color space. [1] Any three primary colors can mix only a limited range of colors, called a gamut, which is always smaller (contains fewer colors) than the ...

    Additive color mixing: combining red and green yields yellow; combining all three primary colors together yields white. Additive color is light created by mixing together light of two or more different 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.

  7. Color mixing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_mixing

    The most common additive color model is the RGB color model, which uses three primary colors: red, green, and blue. This model is the basis of most color displays. Some modern displays are Multi-primary color displays, which have 4-6 primaries (RGB, plus cyan, yellow and/or magenta) in order to increase the size of the color gamut. For all ...

  8. Shades of green - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shades_of_green

    The three additive primaries in the RGB color system are the three colors of light chosen such as to provide the maximum range of colors that are capable of being represented on a computer or television set. Red, green and blue lights, representing the three basic additive primary colors of the RGB color system, red, green, and blue.

  9. Color wheel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_wheel

    A color wheel or color circle [1] is an abstract illustrative organization of color hues around a circle, which shows the relationships between primary colors, secondary colors, tertiary colors etc. Some sources use the terms color wheel and color circle interchangeably; [ 2 ] [ 3 ] however, one term or the other may be more prevalent in ...
