  2. 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.

  3. Complementary colors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complementary_colors

    In the traditional RYB color model, the complementary color pairs are redgreen, yellow – purple, and blueorange. Opponent process theory suggests that the most contrasting color pairs are redgreen and blue–yellow. The black - white color pair is common to all the above theories.

  4. Color theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_theory

    According to traditional color theory based on subtractive primary colors and the RYB color model, yellow mixed with purple, orange mixed with blue, or red mixed with green produces an equivalent gray and are the painter's complementary colors.

  5. Secondary color - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_color

    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.

  6. 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.

  7. Additive color - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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 be predicted by summing the numeric representations of the component colors. [1] Modern formulations of Grassmann's laws [2] describe the additivity in the color perception of ...

  8. Subtractive color - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subtractive_color

    RYB (red, yellow, blue) is the traditional set of primary colors used for mixing pigments. It is used in art and art education, particularly in painting. 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 wheel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_wheel

    A 1908 color wheel with red, green, and violet "plus colors" and magenta, yellow, and cyan blue "minus colors". The typical artists' paint or pigment color wheel includes the blue, red, and yellow primary colors. The corresponding secondary colors are green, orange, and violet or purple.
