  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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complementary_colors

    [10] Out of the opposition of blue and yellow, through a process called "steigerung", or "augmentation" a third color, red, was born. [page needed] Goethe also proposed several sets of complementary colors which "demanded" each other. According to Goethe, "yellow 'demands' violet; orange [demands] blue; purple [demands] green; and vice versa". [11]

    It used two pixels for each emulated pixel, paired horizontally, and a specifically adapted 256-color palette. One range of the palette was many brightnesses of one primary color (say green), and another range of the other two primaries mixed together at different amounts and brightnesses (red and blue).

    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 ...

  7. CMYK color model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CMYK_color_model

    In some cases a black keyline was used when it served as both a color indicator and an outline to be printed in black because usually the black plate contained the keyline. The K in CMYK represents the keyline, or black, plate, also sometimes called the key plate. [3] Text is typically printed in black and includes fine detail (such as serifs).

  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.

  9. 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:
